Mr. L. Smith

Sir K. Wood

The inspecting staff employed by the Ministry in connection with the holding of public local inquiries under the Housing Acts is as follows:

1 Chief Housing Inspector.

21 Temporary Housing and Town Planning Inspectors.

Of these, the Chief Housing Inspector and one of the permanent inspectors are mainly concerned with the organisation of the work of the inspectorate and do not normally themselves hold inquiries.
