HC Deb 10 March 1948 vol 448 c144W
54. Mrs. Middleton

asked the Minister of Food what steps have been taken or are contemplated by his Department, in consultation with the other Government Departments concerned, to combine the work of food enforcement officers with that of departments of inspectors of weights and measures in those localities where this step is practicable.

Mr. Strachey

A complete combination of functions is not, I am afraid, practicable; but these officers already collaborate closely.
