HC Deb 16 June 1948 vol 452 c45W
65. Mr. W. Fletcher

asked the Minister of Food why his Department is employing a local technician in East Africa in the form of a white water-finding witch-doctor; and what wage he is paying for this service.

Mr. Strachey

Neither my Department nor, I understand, the Overseas Food Corporation employ such technicians, but I understand that the services described in the Question are available from African consultants in Tanganyika for a fee of 1s.
