HC Deb 25 May 1944 vol 400 c947W
Mr. R. Morgan

asked the Secretary to the Overseas Trade Department whether the return to his Department of an assisant secretary from the Ministry of Economic Welfare was on the initiative of the Department of Overseas Trade.

Mr. H. Johnstone

The question of initiative scarcely arises, since the whole of this officer's established service was in the Department of Overseas Trade up to the outbreak of war, when he was loaned to the Ministry of Economic Warfare. Under the recent reorganisation of that Ministry he again became available for service in his parent Department.
