99. Major Beamish

asked the Minister of Education to publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT the names and positions held of all the Members of the Committee recently appointed to consider and Report upon the redistribution of Library functions, showing the population of all the authorities represented; why the Committee only includes one member of a small local authority; and, in view of the importance of these matters to smaller local authorities, if he will either add suitably to the membership of this Committee, or give an assurance that the views of the smaller authorities will be given the full weight that they deserve.
