HC Deb 04 July 1940 vol 362 c1025W
Mr. Shinwell

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Aircraft Production, to what important position Mr. Peter Bennett, whose removal from a post in the Ministry of Supply was recently announced, has been appointed; the nature of the work Mr. Bennett has been called upon to undertake, his qualifications and the salary he will receive?

Colonel Llewellin

Mr. Bennett has been appointed by my Noble Friend as adviser upon any further arrangements which need to be made for the better distribution and dispersal of factories in which aeronautical material is produced. My Noble Friend is satisfied that Mr. Bennett's long industrial and commercial experience fully qualifies him for this task. His appointment is unpaid.
