HC Deb 15 November 1951 vol 493 cc1144-5
8. Mr. E. H. Keeling

asked the Minister of Health if he will make a statement about the employment as a clerk in the National Health executive council for Middlesex of a man who, having been a secret agent of the Czechoslovak Government, had been deprived of his British citizenship earlier in the year at the instance of the Attorney-General.

Mr. Crookshank

I understand that he was employed for a short time as a temporary clerk by the Middlesex Executive Council.

Mr. Keeling

Can my right hon. Friend say whether any steps have been taken to prevent this sort of thing happening again?

Mr. Crookshank

If by "this sort of thing" my hon. Friend means the employment of a particular individual, I think that is a matter for the Ministry of Labour.
