§ 82. Mr. LEESasked the Minister of Agriculture if he will give particulars, including names and addresses, and qualifications, of all persons appointed to the new catchment boards, specifying his own nominations; and if he will say what arrangements, if any, have been made to secure that the workers, whose interests are concerned, are represented on each of these boards?
§ Dr. ADDISONThe total number of members of catchment boards will probably exceed a thousand, and my hon. Friend will perhaps agree that it is not necessary to give in the OFTICIAL REPORT a large mass of information which is not of general interest, but I shall be happy to arrange to furnish to him, or to any other hon. Member, a complete list of the members of any catchment board in which he may be specially interested. In all these appointments I keep in mind the desirability of securing the representation of workers.
§ Mr. LEESWill the right hon. Gentleman supply the full information asked for in the question which I have put to him?
§ Dr. ADDISONI do not think my hon. Friend can have caught my reply.
§ Mr. LEESWill the right hon. Gentleman inform the House how many representatives of the working class there are on these boards?
§ Dr. ADDISONI will take special care to see that that is done.
