HC Deb 09 May 1923 vol 163 cc2409-10W
Sir P. PILDITCH

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many cases now remain to be settled in the Settlement of Claims Department with reference to the corn-milling trade; and when it is expected that the last of these claims will be settled and the Department disbanded, having regard to the fact that Government control was taken off more than a year ago?

close, and while in sympathy with the object of my hon. Friend's proposal, I regret that I am not able to give effect to it, as it would entail additional staff and increased expenditure.
