§ Mr. WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether the Committee to be appointed to consider legislation in connection with local taxation will consist of Members of all parties in this House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot as yet make any definite statement as to the composition of the Committee.
§ Mr. WEDGWOODMay I ask whether this Committee will advise legislation, or whether it will report like an ordinary Committee?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI cannot answer that question at present.
§ Viscount HELMSLEYMay I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether, in appointing the Committee, he will bear in mind that agriculture should be well represented?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI would rather not say at the moment. I may be able to say next week.
