§ Mr. E. Walkdenasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food whether additional evidence of recent black market transactions in Leeds, sent to him, is receiving prompt attention; and whether he will augment the staff of inspectors and investigators in the Yorkshire area?
Major Lloyd GeorgeThe answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative. I am not aware that the staff of enforcement inspectors in the Yorkshire area is at the moment insufficient but I have no hesitation in assuring my hon. Friend that it will be augmented should the volume of work justify it.
