HC Deb 04 March 1952 vol 497 c32W
71. Commander Scott-Miller

asked the President of the Board of Trade the annual cost to his Department and the number of people employed by his Department since January, 1947, in administering the utility scheme.

Mr. H. Strauss

This information is not readily available, and my right hon. Friend doubts whether in present circumstances the expenditure of staff time necessary to extract it would be justifiable.
