HC Deb 30 June 1920 vol 131 c450
Mr. ASTBURY (by Private Notice)

asked the Minister of Food whether Mrs. Jones has been appointed Executive Food Officer for the Manchester area as from the 1st July, and whether he is satisfied that there is no ex-service man competent to fill the position?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY of FOOD (Sir W. Mitchell-Thomson)

I have not had time to get a report from Manchester, but I am able to say that no definite appointment has yet been made to the post of District Food Officer for Manchester. I am in communication with the Divisional Food Commissioner on the subject.
