Mr. David Adamsasked the Minister of Agriculture whether he is aware that the 1519W Durham County Council Agricultural Committee has neither been consulted, nor invited to be represented upon the War Emergency Committee on Agriculture for Durham county; and whether he will have this omission rectified forthwith?
§ Sir R. Dorman-SmithIn no case has a County Agricultural Committee, as a Committee, been consulted or invited to nominate representatives to serve on the County War Agricultural Executive Committee. The object has been to select a Chairman and members specially qualified to exercise as my agents the powers conferred on me by the Regulations made under the Emergency Powers Act and delegated to them. In this particular case I may say that five of the members appointed to serve on the Executive Committee are, as a matter of fact, members of the County Agricultural Committee.
