HC Deb 02 July 1951 vol 489 cc186-7W
91. Mr. Awbery

asked the Minister of Fuel and Power if he will strengthen the South-West Consultative Council for the supply of electricity by inviting the trade unions in the region to nominate representatives to sit on this body.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker

The Trades Union Congress is one of several national bodies covering the whole country from whom I have invited and have received nominations which I consider when I am making appointments to the various electricity Consultative Councils. There are two trade union members serving on the South Western Electricity Consultative Council at the present time.
