Sir Waldron Smithers
asked the Minister of Food what is the name of his Department's Director of Fresh Fruit and Vegetables; and if he will give details of his qualifications for this post.
Dr. Summerskill
I would refer the hon. Member to the statement circulated in the OFFICIAL REPORT on 28th March.
Sir W. Smithers
Is the right hon. Lady aware that fresh fruit and vegetables would be much better distributed and a larger number available if this appointment were dispensed with? Is not the present holder of the office a joke in the trade?
Dr. Summerskill
No, Sir.
