HC Deb 01 November 1965 vol 718 cc589-90
2. Mr. J. E. B. Hill

asked the Minister of Land and Natural Resources whether he will set up a central advisory committee to assist in co-ordinating the process of commons registration.

Mr. Willey

No, Sir. I do not think that this is necessary. I have from the outset been in close touch with the various bodies affected; and I shall keep in touch with them while registration is going on. These arrangements are working smoothly and effectively.

Mr. Hill

Would it not be helpful to have even an informal group of advisers, consisting of those most expert in this matter, in order to collate the experience and knowledge of procedures that have already been reached?

Mr. Willey

As I have said, I do not think that it is necessary at the moment. One awaits the report of the Nuffield Trust inquiry, and one can look again at this matter in the light of that report.
