HC Deb 08 April 1954 vol 526 c79W
Mr. Callaghan

asked the Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation the reason for the delay in filling three vacancies on the Transport Users' Consultative Committee for Wales which have existed since 1st August, 1953.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

I decided to strengthen this Committee for its third term by the addition of further members representing respectively, agriculture, commerce, industry, shipping, labour and local authorities. The filling of some of these additional seats with a view securing a balanced distribution of the interests concerned within the area covered by the Committee has taken longer than I expected. Only one of these appointments remains to be made, for which I am now issuing an invitation.
