60. Mr. POINTERasked the President of the Board of Trade if he can give any indication as to when the North Wales Advisory Board, under the Labour Exchanges Act, is to be appointed; and will he state the reason for the delay that has taken place?
Mr. BUXTONInvitations have now been issued to representatives of industry in North Wales to serve on an advisory trade committee for that area; and the Committee will be appointed as soon as the necessary replies have been received. The constitution of this committee has been delayed chiefly owing to pressure of work in connection with the preparations for the administration of Part II. of the National Insurance Act. North Wales, however, has not been without representation, since it has had four members to represent it upon the Liverpool Advisory Trade Committee.
