§ Dr. Edmund Marshallasked the Secretary of State for the Environment what consultations took place prior to his reappointment of Mr. W. W. Ruff as a member of the Boundary Commission for England on 2 September 1982.
§ Mr. Giles ShawMr. W. W. Ruff was originally appointed in 1974 by the then Labour Administration. In 1979 he was reappointed, for a further three years only, by my right hon. Friend's predecessor. The short extension—from 1 January to 30 April 1983—of his existing appointment did not justify fresh consultation.
