Highland Transport Board

HC Deb 05 December 1963 vol 685 c220W

Sir J. MacLeod

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement about the setting up of the Highland Transport Board.

Mr. Noble

Mr. R. H. W. Bruce of Sumburgh, Shetland, has accepted my invitation to be Chairman of the Board and Mr. James Amos, Mr. Bernard Boxall, Mr. I. R. Hilleary and Mr. J. A. Keyden have agreed to be members. I hope to make some further appointments shortly.

All these appointments will be for a three-year term. The terms of reference of the Board were given in my reply to the hon. Member for East Fife (Sir J. Gilmour) on 23rd July last.
