HC Deb 21 October 1943 vol 392 c1510
41. Mr. Kenneth Lindsay

asked the President of the Board of Education on what principles he has reconstituted the membership of the Youth Advisory Council; and on what subject precisely he expects them to report in future?

Mr. Butler

The new Council has been constituted on the same basis as its predecessor. I have decided to make the new Council a rather smaller and more compact body, having power to examine witnesses and, as may be necessary, to co-opt other persons on to any sub-committees or groups that it may set up to deal with particular aspects of the remit that I have asked the Council to consider. I am sending my hon. Friend a copy of the terms of the remit.
