§ 52. Sir W. Smithersasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether he has inquired into the waste of 1,000 sacks of flour at a food depot, particulars of which have been sent to him; and will he institute proceedings against the official responsible or say what other action he proposes to take?
§ Mr. MabaneThe only incident I am able to trace at the depot to which my hon. Friend has drawn attention occurred in January, 1941. This was fully investigated at the time. It was found that all necessary action had been taken and practically the whole of the consignment was saved for human consumption. If my hon. Friend has any information about this case other than that he has passed to me, and will supply me with full details, I will arrange for their investigation.
