§ Major Symondsasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether, in view of the shortage of experienced administrative personnel to deal with housing problems and of the delay in Class B releases from the Forces, he will have inquiries made in all Departments of the Civil Service with a view to the transfer, either voluntary or compulsory, to the Ministry of Health, both centrally, regionally and locally, of all staff from other Departments with specialised housing experience.
§ Mr. DaltonI am co-operating closely with my right hon. Friend the Minister of Health with the object of securing experienced administrative staff to deal with housing problems and certain appointments for this purpose have been made; in addition a number of administrative staff of the Ministry of Health have been released from the Forces in Class B. I will bear my hon. and gallant Friend's suggestion in mind.
