HC Deb 24 October 1944 vol 404 cc48-9W
Major C. S. Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department in how many cases and in what areas the office of regional commissioner has been discontinued.

Mr. Peake

I assume that my hon, and gallant Friend refers to the posts and not to the actual offices of Regional Commissioners. None of these posts has yet been discontinued, but ten posts of Deputy Regional Commissioner have been discontinued. In addition, the District Commissioners in Scotland have ceased to hold office.
