§ 69. Mr. G. M. Thomsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will introduce legislation to ensure that workers who are directed by employment exchanges to unestablished posts in local authority works departments are not thereby disqualified from sitting as co-opted members of local authority committees.
§ Mr. J. StuartI am not aware of any grounds for proposing legislation to relax the long-standing rule that an employee is disqualified for membership of a local authority or any of its committees.
