§ Motion made, and Question proposed, "That the Clause stand part of the Bill."
§ 5.9 p.m.
§ Sir R. RossAs regards the committee which is to be constituted under this Clause and of which the four members and the chairman are to be nominated by the Minister, I do not know what will be the grounds of selection but I make this suggestion to the Minister. If, in consultation with the Minister of Agriculture for Northern Ireland, he finds that the Northern Ireland Minister thinks that there will be problems specially connected with Northern Ireland which are distinguishable from the normal problems of the other island, will the right hon. Gentleman have, as one of the members of the committee a person acquainted with the situation of agriculture in Northern Ireland? I do not want a positive assurance from the Minister but I ask him to give consideration to that suggestion.
