HC Deb 07 July 1961 vol 643 c169W
Mr. McAdden

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many officials of his Department are authorised to enter private residential and landed property without the necessity of obtaining the owner's or occupier's permission.

Mr. Maudling

There are no officials of the Board of Trade authorised to enter private residential and landed property where no business is carried on, but forty-five officials are authorised to enter and carry out inspections of undertakings for the purpose of enforcing Orders made under the Defence (General) Regulations, 1939.
