53. Mr. C. BATHURST

asked the President of the Local Government Board if he will now state the names of the Departmental Committee which will inquire into the question of smoke abatement; and whether such Committee will include a representative of the agricultural industry?

The PRESIDENT of the LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. Herbert Samuel)

The constitution of the Committee is not yet complete. The answer to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.

Mr. C. BATHURST

Will the right hon. Gentleman state at an early date the terms of the reference to the Committee?

Mr. HERBERT SAMUEL

I will do so as early as possible.
