§ Mr. BOWERMANasked the President of the Board of Trade whether, having regard to the powers conferred upon the Trinity House Whitley Council under the terms of its constitution, and to the fact that the reorganisation scheme for the Trinity House service has notwithstanding been drawn up without the staff representative having been consulted, he will issue instructions for the reorganisation scheme in question, before the requisite Order in Council is laid before the House, to be submitted to the Trinity House Whitley Council for ratification or amendment, as may be considered desirable, in accordance with the method adopted for the Civil Service, as set forth in the Treasury circular dated 17th April, 1920?
§ Sir P. LLOYD-GREAMEA scheme for the re-organisation of the Trinity House service was submitted to the Board of Trade last year prior to the date when the constitution of the Trinity House Whitley Council was approved. This scheme is receiving the careful consideration of the Board, and I am informed by the Trinity House that, when its details have been provisionally settled, it will, before being embodied in the necessary Order in Council, be communicated for discussion in the Whitley Council in accordance with the terms of the circular to which my hon. Friend refers.
