§ 65. Lieut.-Colonel POWNALLasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether any decision has yet been arrived at with regard to the reconstitution of the Whitley Councils dealing with Civil Service wages and salaries in order that the Councils shall not consist alone of civil servants, but shall comprise a number of independent business men, if possible employers of labour, who will represent the taxpayers' interests?
§ Sir R. HORNEThe question is still under consideration, but I hope that it may be possible to make an announcement on the subject at an early date.
