§ Major GLYNasked the Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs whether the composition of the Oversea Settlement Committee has been brought to his notice, especially in regard to the importance of the House of Commons representation not being confined to one political party?
§ Mr. AMERYI agree with my hon. and gallant Friend that the members of this House who serve on the Oversea Settlement Committee should not be confined to one political party. The constitution of the Committee is at present receiving consideration, and the question of arranging representation for all political parties will not be lost sight of. I would, however, invite my hon. and gallant Friend's attention to the fact that of the three Members of this House who are now members of the Committee, one is my hon. Friend the Member for the Rushcliffe Division of Nottingham-shire (Mr. Betterton), who serves on the Committee as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Labour, the others being the hon. Member for Rothwell (Mr. Lunn), who is a former Chairman of the Committee, and the hon. Member for Wallsend (Miss Bordfield).
