§ 51. Major Sir Edward Cadoganasked the Minister without Portfolio whether he will give an undertaking that, in the appointment of any Royal Commission or Departmental committees concerned with post-war planning, local authorities shall have adequate representation thereon?
§ The Minister without Portfolio (Mr. Arthur Greenwood)I agree that any Departmental Committee considering post-war problems which affect the interests of local authorities should be fully apprised of the views of such authorities, either by direct representation or otherwise, and I should be prepared to recommend a similar course in the case of a Royal Commission on such problems.
