HC Deb 11 April 1918 vol 104 c1611
55. Mr. PEMBERTON BILLING

asked 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. BILLING

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether any recent appointments in this Department have taken place among the higher officials?

Mr. PROTHERO

That is quite a different question. I should like notice of it.
