36. Mr. BECKETTasked the Minister of Health whether the divisional food officers appointed in accordance with the terms of Circular 626 from his Department are, or have been, connected with any private organisation professing to deal with national emergencies?
§ Mr. A. M. SAMUELThe divisional food officers recently appointed were, with one exception, formerly employed under the Ministry of Food, and their duties then included the administration of food supplies in national emergencies. None of them are, or, so far as I am aware, have been, connected with any private organisation of the nature referred to in the question.
