Coal Board (Vacancy)

HC Deb 09 April 1951 vol 486 c636

24. Mr. Beresford Craddock

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power when the vacancy created by the death of Sir Arthur Street will be filled.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

I hope to fill in the early future the vacancy on the Coal Board created by the lamented death of Sir Arthur Street; but I regret that I cannot yet give a definite date.

Miss Ward

Does the same apply to the position vacated by Sir Eric Young?

Mr. Speaker

That is another question.
