HC Deb 18 December 1947 vol 445 c381W
81. Viscountess Davidson

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power why only one political party has received representation upon the Domestic Coal Consumers' Council; and what consultations took place with the Women's Political Party Organisations before this representation was accorded.

Mr. Gaitskell

No member of the Domestic Coal Consumers' Council was appointed as the representative of a political party. The women's organisations consulted were selected because they represented large numbers of housewives and not because of any political affiliations.
