§ Mr. Elystan Morganasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will consider providing for the appointment of one member from Wales on the Distribution Committee connected with the Meat and Livestock Commission provided for under the Agriculture Bill.
§ Mr. PeartThe first priority is to provide for adequate representation on the Distribution Committee of the various types of interests listed in paragraph 2 of Part III of Schedule 1 to the Agriculture Bill. So far as is consistent with this objective, it is certainly our intention to make the membership of the Committee as geographically representative as possible of all areas in England, Wales and Scotland.
§ Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the proposed organisation of and representation on the Production Committee of the Meat and Livestock Commission.
§ Mr. PeartI am at present consulting the interests concerned about the composition of this Committee. Until these consultations are completed, I am unable to add anything to the information on the composition of the Committee given in paragraph 1 of Part III of Schedule 1 to the Agriculture Bill.
