100. Sir C. Headlam

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power whether, in view of the order issued by the area general manager North Eastern Division of the National Coal Board forbidding agents and managers in the employment of the Board to serve on local councils, he proposes to sanction the extension of the order to other administrative ranks and miners in the North Eastern Area.

Mr. Shinwell

I would refer the hon. Member to the reply which my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister has given to the hon. and gallant Gentleman the Member for Eccleshall (Major Roberts).
