39. Mr. Geoffrey Cooper

asked the President of the Board of Trade when he expects to be in a position to publish the names of the members and the chairman of the first council of the British Institute of Management.

Sir S. Cripps

I am pleased to say that Mr. C. G. Renold, chairman of the Renold and Coventry Chain Company Ltd., and a leading authority on the subject of Management, has accepted my invitation to be the first chairman of the British Institute of Management. I hope shortly to be able to announce the names of the members of the council.

Mr. Cooper

May I ask the right hon. and learned Gentleman whether, in making this selection, he will pay due regard to the claims of professional and other bodies interested in improving industrial conditions who put forward names?

Sir S. Cripps

Certainly, I have done that.
