§ 95. Mr. P. Noel-Bakerasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government how many authorities are unable to obtain qualified persons to carry out the functions of air pollution officers.
§ Mr. H. BrookeThere is a shortage of public health inspectors, who normally undertake air pollution duties, but I understand that there was a marked rise in recruitment last year. I regret that I cannot say how many authorities have vacancies unfilled at the present time.
