HC Deb 01 April 1926 vol 193 c2372W
Mr. AMMON

asked the Minister of Labour whether, seeing that in reconstituting the local employment committee, in connection with the Clapham Junction Employment Exchange, he has replaced certain active and experienced members by new members, he will state the grounds on which he made his decision?

Major HENNESSY

(for Sir ARTHUR STEEL-MAITLAND): In reconstituting this committee, the Department made no selection of individuals. The action of the Department was confined to revising the list of organisations making nominations. The Minister is sorry if the result was to displace active and experienced members, but the primary consideration must be to have as representative, a list of organisations as is possible, consistently with the necessary limit of numbers.
