70. Mr. GLOSSOP

asked the Minister of Agriculture who is now the chairman of the Poultry Commission; and when the Commission will present its report?

Mr. ELLIOT

I am glad to have this opportunity of informing the House that I have invited Mr. F. N. Blundell to be Chairman of the Reorganisation Commission for Eggs and Poultry for England and Wales, and that he has accepted my invitation. Mr. Blundell has served as a member of this Commission since its con- stitution. He also rendered valuable services as a member of the Imperial Economic Committee from 1926 to 1931, and as a member of the Reorganisation Commission for Milk. I understand that the Commission is now preparing its report which it hopes to complete by the end of this month.

Captain WATERHOUSE

Are we to understand from my right hon. Friend's answer that there are no more Socialists available for these posts?
