asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will state the terms of reference of the Commission recently appointed to inquire into the Constitution of the Isle of Man, and its personnel; when, and where, it will hold its first sitting; whether it will make an interim report; and when its final report may be expected.

Mr. Renton

The Lieutenant Governor of the Isle of Man has appointed a Commission to inquire into and report upon the Constitution of the Isle of Man and its working and to make recommendations for any changes that they may consider desirable or practicable". The Chairman is Lord MacDermott, and the other members are the right hon. Gentleman the Member for South Shields (Mr. Ede), my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Chertsey (Sir L. Heald), Sir Frederick Armer and Sir Francis Mudie. The last three parts of the Question are matters for the Commission.

Mr. Hughes

May I ask the hon. and learned Gentleman if the various interests concerned will be represented?

Mr. Renton

I am sorry. I cannot answer that question without notice.
