HC Deb 21 June 1920 vol 130 c1778W
Mr. W. GRAHAM

asked the Minister of Transport whether it is intended to appoint a transport officer for agricultural work who will act in conjunction with the Ministry of Transport and the Board of Agriculture; whether this appointment will be open to other than ex-service men; and whether, in view of the fact that there are many ex-service men with agricultural college diplomas who had experience in transport work during the War, are still unemployed, and are eminently qualified for such a post, he will rule that such men should have a preference in the event of such an appointment being made?

Mr. NEAL

No special appointment of the nature referred to is contemplated. The Ministry of Agriculture and this Ministry are constantly co-operating together in matters in which both are interested.
