asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Economic Warfare whether he is satisfied as a result of careful scrutiny that all Departments under his direction have been so scrutinised as to ensure that there is no waste of man-power and that nepotism is not exercised in. any Department in the appointment of personnel?

Yes, Sir.

I am not at all satisfied with the answer, and if I send the hon. Gentleman particulars of a Department which is full of bankers and oil magnates masquerading as high military officers, will he have it looked into?

I shall certainly be interested to see any particulars the hon. Member can furnish.
