§ Sir J. GILMOURThe names were given in this House on 24th November in response to a request from the hon. Member for South Midlothian and Peebles (Mr. Westwood). The reply to the second part of the present question is in the negative. In selecting the members of the Committee I had regard, not so much to any particular interest which they might be supposed to represent, as to whether they possess the knowledge and experience necessary to enable them to present a useful report upon the terms of reference.
