the basis on which Government-appointed members of the boards of public companies are chosen.

Mr. Dalton

On grounds of ability and suitable experience.

Mr. E. Davies

Is the Chancellor aware that a large number of these gentlemen hold several directorships of public companies, and is he satisfied that they represent the Government sufficiently well to carry out the Government's current policy?

Mr. Dalton

If any particular case arises in which I do not feel satisfied, something will have to be done about it.
