asked the Minister of Food if he is satisfied that there are enough fish-curing and preserving establishments near the ports of landing; and what steps he proposes to take.
Dame Florence Horsbrugh
, Dundee
Yes, Sir. Some of the establishments are not working to capacity, however, owing to labour difficulties and enemy action. My right hon. Friend is taking all practicable steps, in consultation with other Departments concerned, to obtain staff and to carry out repairs as well as to encourage improvements.
Ministers make up the Government and almost all are members of the House of Lords or the House of Commons. There are three main types of Minister. Departmental Ministers are in charge of Government Departments. The Government is divided into different Departments which have responsibilities for different areas. For example the Treasury is in charge of Government spending. Departmental Ministers in the Cabinet are generally called 'Secretary of State' but some have special titles such as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Ministers of State and Junior Ministers assist the ministers in charge of the department. They normally have responsibility for a particular area within the department and are sometimes given a title that reflects this - for example Minister of Transport.
