§ Mr. Harold Daviesasked the Minister of Food if he will give particulars of the persons working in his Department who have been seconded, and are paid, by private firms.
§ Mr. StracheyA number of temporary officers in the Ministry have been seconded from private firms. In many cases they are receiving some payment from their previous employers but I do not know the details. All officers loaned to the Department in this way undertake not to favour, or to exercise executive control of, any food business.
