Sir J. REMNANT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what position did Mr. R. W. Rucker hold with reference to the Disposal Board; and when did he cease to have any connection with them?

Mr. BALDWIN

Mr. R. W. Rucker was Controller of Non-Ferrous Raw Materials in the Raw Materials Department of the Ministry of Munitions from February, 1919, to 30th September, 1919, when he resigned his appointment. Mr. Rucker's duties included control of the disposal of non-ferrous scrap by the Raw Materials Department, on behalf of the Disposal Board, up to 1st July, 1919, when his connection with the Disposal Board ceased. He continued, however, to assist the Ministry of Munitions in an advisory capacity as a member of the Raw Materials Committee until February, 1920.
