Darlingasked the President of the Board of Trade how many offices for Regional Controllers there are in Great Britain for the distribution of Industry and Regional Division in his Department; how many are located in England, Wales and Scotland, respectively; and if he is satisfied that this organisation is adequately balanced.
§ Mr. BelcherThe Regional organisation of the Board of Trade is based upon standard Regional boundaries adopted generally by Government Departments.
