HC Deb 29 September 1939 vol 351 c1622W
Mr. Storey

asked the Minister of Supply whether the controllers appointed by his Department are required to resign any directorships they may hold in companies engaged in the production of the materials or goods which they are appointed to control?

Colonel Llewellin

My right hon. Friend has made it clear to all controllers of raw materials whom he has appointed that they must cease for the time being from any active participation in business enterprises in any way connected with the industry, the raw materials of which they are controlling. The same rule applies to members of their staff. My right hon. Friend is satisfied that this rule is being observed in the letter and in the spirit.
