36. Colonel DAY

asked the Minister of Pensions whether, as the period for which representatives of local pensions committee were appointed members of advisory councils of the Pensions Ministry expires next month, local committees will be afforded opportunities similar to those of last year for the purpose of nominating their representatives on these councils?

The PARLIAMENTARY SECRETARY to the MINISTRY OF PENSIONS (Lieut.-Colonel Stanley)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative and to the second, that having regard to the short period for which these councils have been working, my right hon. Friend proposes to reappoint the existing members for a further period of one year
