HC Deb 24 July 1946 vol 426 c33
56. Lieut.-Colonel Thorp

asked the Minister of Food what steps he has taken to replace in his Department the trade experts who gave their services during the war, and have since returned to their businesses.

Dr. Summerskill

The majority of the senior trade experts who served the Ministry during the war are still at their posts. Those who have had to return to their own firms have been replaced by others already serving in the Ministry, or by civil servants who have become sufficiently experienced to undertake the work.
