HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 c252
64. Mr. GLANVILLE

asked the Minister of Food the salaries of the Director of Vegetable Supplies, Deputy-Director of Vegetable Supplies, and the Director of Fish Supplies, respectively; and whether these are whole-time or part-time appointments?

Mr. McCURDY

The Director of Vegetable Supplies serves the Ministry without remuneration. The post of Deputy-Director of Vegetable Supplies does not exist, and that of Director of Fish Supplies has lapsed owing to the reduction and reorganisation of the work of the Division.

Mr. LAMBERT

What is the use of a Director of Vegetable Supplies£does he produce any vegetables?

Mr. McCURDY

I think my right hon. Friend understands, without me giving him the information, that the functions of a director are not the same as those of an agricultural producer.
