§ 38. Mr. BILLINGasked the Minister of National Service if he is aware that calling-up notices have been issued signed by the name of Hoffman, and upon presenting these papers before a tribunal men have to report to a chairman by the name of Rosenfeldt; will he given the nationality and origin of these officials; and whether he will state their age and peculiar suitability for the position they hold?
§ Mr. BECKI cannot find that there is any person of the name of Hoffman in the employment of the Ministry of National Service, but inquiries are being made at the branches of the Ministry througout the provinces to ascertain whether anyone of that name is in fact signing calling-up notices. As regards the chairman of a tribunal to whom the hon. Member refers, I must refer him to the Local Government Board, which is the Department concerned with tribunal administration. The Minister of National Service neither appoints members of tribunals nor has any control over them.
