HC Deb 09 March 1934 vol 286 c2172W
Mr. RHYS DAVIES

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the number of persons resident in those countries, or representing English, Scottish and Welsh interests, respectively, who have been appointed on all the Commissions and Committees set up by the present Government?

Mr. HORE-BELISHA

I am not in a position to classify, in the manner suggested, the membership of the various Commissions and Committees appointed by the present Government. As the hon. Member was informed on 15th February, 1933, in selecting personnel all relevant considerations, including territorial considerations where appropriate, are borne in mind, the objective in each particular case being the appointment of a Committee composed so as to promise the best possible guidance on the subject referred to the Committee.
