HC Deb 28 April 1947 vol 436 cc171-2W
102. Brigadier Low

asked the Minister of Food how many men and women, respectively, he has appointed as catering advisers in Blackpool; what are their duties; and how much are they paid per annum.

Dr. Summerskill

Three men and seven women were recently appointed or detached to assist, advise and inspect catering establishments in Blackpool. Some of this work was performed previously by enforcement inspectors, who have returned to their normal duties. The need to retain these officers will be reviewed at the end of the holiday season. They at present receive approximately £45 a week in wages.
