§ 55. Mr. PEMBERTON BILLINGasked the Prime Minister if he would state the name and qualifications of the new Director of the Food Production Department?
§ The PRESIDENT Of the BOARD Of AGRICULTURE (Mr. Prothero)I think the hon. Member is under a misapprehension. The Director-General of Food Production is still the hon. and gallant Member for the Fareham Division, who has filled the position since its creation about a year ago.
§ Mr. BILLINGCan the right hon. Gentleman say whether any recent appointments in this Department have taken place among the higher officials?
§ Mr. PROTHEROThat is quite a different question. I should like notice of it.
