§ 9. Mr. HOGGEasked the President of the Local Government Board whether his attention has been drawn to a resolution passed by the County Councils Association, Scotland, stating that it is not possible for labour to be represented on the county pensions committees; and whether he can now state publicly that no scheme of any such committee will be approved that does not provide for labour representation?
§ Mr. HAYES FISHERI have not seen any resolution in the terms referred to in the hon. Member's question. The Statutory Committee have been informed by the Association of County Councils in Scotland 280 that in their opinion each county should be allowed to provide for the representation of labour on the local committee in accordance with the special circumstances existing in the particular county. No scheme of any committee will be approved that does not provide for labour representation.
