Major HENDERSONasked the Home Secretary when the Committee to be appointed to consider the question of superannuation for fire brigade officers will commence its sittings; whether Scotland will be included in their terms of reference; and, if so, whether one of the five members will be selected as representing Scottish interests?
§ Mr. SHORTTI much regret the delay which has occurred in constituting the Committee which I propose to appoint to consider the hours, pay and conditions of service of firemen in professional fire brigades. I hope, however, that the Committee will begin its sittings early in January. The reply to the last part of the question is in the affirmative.
