§ 68. Sir George Mitchesonasked the Minister of Information whether, as the London Regional Advisory Committee does not include any representatives of employers or retail traders, though it includes representatives of the London Trades Council, the Trades Union Congress and the co-operative movement, he will take steps to alter this forthwith?
§ The Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Information (Mr. Harold Nicolson)It was not possible to complete the membership of the Advisory Committee for the London Region before the pressure of events rendered it necessary that it should meet and commence its duties on a nucleus basis. I can assure 1087 the hon. Member that in the completion of the committee the necessity of covering the interests of employers and retail traders will be carefully borne in mind.
