HC Deb 24 November 1920 vol 135 cc465-6W
Captain TUDOR - REES

asked the Minister of Health if he will state how many persons are engaged in the preparation and circulation of the publications issued by his Department; and whether, with a view to a reduction in expenditure, a large number of them could be discontinued?

Dr. ADDISON

The preparation and circulation of the publications issued by the Ministry of Health forms only a small part of the ordinary duties of the staff of the Ministry, and is not allotted to a special staff. Very substantial cur- tailments have recently been made in this direction.
