HC Deb 31 March 1949 vol 463 cc142-3W
Mr. J. Morrison

asked the Minister of Food how many enforcement inspectors in his Department are exclusively employed in visiting farms; and how many visits have been made in the past 12 months.

Mr. Strachey

No enforcement inspectors are solely employed in visiting farms. I regret that the information asked for in the second part of the Question is not readily available and I do not feel that the extensive inquiry necessary to obtain it would be justified.
