HC Deb 01 June 1943 vol 390 c2
4. Mr. Stokes

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare whether he is satisfied as a result of careful scrutiny that all Departments under his direction have been so scrutinised as to ensure that there is no waste of man-power and that nepotism is not exercised in. any Department in the appointment of personnel?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare (Mr. Dingle Foot)

Yes, Sir.

Mr. Stokes

I am not at all satisfied with the answer, and if I send the hon. Gentleman particulars of a Department which is full of bankers and oil magnates masquerading as high military officers, will he have it looked into?

Mr. Foot

I shall certainly be interested to see any particulars the hon. Member can furnish.
