HC Deb 06 December 1955 vol 547 c31W
67. Mr. West

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether, in reaching his decision not to re-appoint the former Chairman of the Cwmbran Development Corporation, he gave consideration to the service rendered by him in the Cwmbran New Town development and why he was not re-appointed for a further term.

Mr. Sandys

I am glad of this opportunity to pay my tribute to the distinguished service rendered by Mr. Huxley Turner as Chairman of the New Town of Cwmbran. The good progress made owes much to his wise guidance and administration. My decision not to re-appoint him for a fourth term is, of course, no reflection upon Mr. Huxley Turner. After six years, it is not unreasonable to make a change.
