The prices section of my Department on 1st April, 1965 was served by one principal; one assistant principal; one higher executive officer; one professional accountant; one executive officer; one clerk-typist. The services of nine general departmental inspectors were also available. It is expected that additional staff will be required but it is not possible at this stage to say what the increase will be. There has been no increase in the staff of the section since 1st April, 1965.
