§ Colonel LlewellinTo the first part of the Question the answer is £350 approximately, to the second 20 members of the local staff at Shrewsbury resigned and to replace them 13 new staff have been recruited at the new location, and to the third the move was ordered so that the Control should be at a point both nearer to headquarters and nearer to the Light Alloy and Magnesium Control.
