HC Deb 26 February 1931 vol 248 cc2265-6
42. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Minister of Health the names of the members of the committee engaged in examining town-planning schemes with a view to the building of satellite towns; and whether it has yet made any recommendations?

Mr. GREENWOOD

The members of the committee are the right hon. The Viscount Chelmsford (Chairman), Mr. H. Alexander, Sir Ernest Clark, Mr. W. R. Davidge, Mr. A. Dryland, Sir George Etherton, Mr. W. J. Hadfield, Mr. F. W. Hunt, Mr. T. Alwyn Lloyd, Mr. J. Norval, Captain R. L. Reiss, Mr. J. H. Rothwell, and Mr. Raymond Unwin. The committee have not yet made any recommen- dations. I am sending the right hon. Member a, copy of the terms of reference to the committee, as his question seems to indicate some misunderstanding of its functions.

Mr. LOUIS SMITH

May I ask how many of these gentlemen are fully-qualified civil engineers?

Mr. GREENWOOD

I cannot say offhand, but, of course, the majority have a practical knowledge of the questions involved.
