HC Deb 21 December 1925 vol 189 c1937
27. Mr. CAMPBELL

asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies how many members of the Overseas Settlement Committee there are; and how many of these are official, and how many unofficial, members?

Mr. AMERY

In addition to the chairman and vice-chairman, there are 16 members of the Overseas Settlement Committee. Of these eight are official and eight unofficial.

Mr. CAMPBELL

Does the Colonial Secretary not think it advisable to add a little new blood?

Mr. AMERY

I think the blood in the Committee is very good blood, and it is always dangerous to make the Committee too large.
