HC Deb 12 December 1950 vol 482 cc146-7W
106. Mr. Hollis

asked the Minister of Labour why he did not re-appoint Lord Ammon as Chairman of the National Dock Labour Board.

Mr. Isaacs

Lord Ammon's appointment was for a definite period, expiring on 31st December, 1950. It is not customary nor would it be desirable to state why a particular person is not considered for a particular post. I would like to take this opportunity of expressing publicly, as I have already done privately, the Government's appreciation of Lord Ammon's services during his tenure of this office.

107. Lieut.-Colonel Lipton

asked the Minister of Labour whether he will make a statement on the future composition and jurisdiction of the National Dock Labour Board.

Mr. Isaacs

This is a matter which I shall have to consider after I have received the report of the Committee of Inquiry into the position at the London Docks.
