14. Major Lloyd (forasked the Secretary of State for Scotland which members of the Committee appointed by him to study the problems of the hill-sheep farming industry in Scotland, have actual practical experience of hill-sheep farming in the Highlands?
Mr. JohnstonThe Committee is not intended to be a Committee of representatives of areas, or of experts, or of groups of interests. Many of its members, however, do possess first-hand knowledge of the problems to be dealt with, and the Committee will, I am sure, welcome evidence from men with practical experience in the hill sheep industry, from whatever part of Scotland they may come.
§ Mr. SnaddenHas the Committee power to co-opt, for example, representatives of the veterinary profession?
§ Mr. McGovernWill the right hon. Gentleman take evidence with regard to sheep from the Whips in this House?
