Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act, 1960 (Hansard, 28 February 1963)

HC Deb 28 February 1963 vol 672 c191W 191W

§ 33. Mr. D. Smith
asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government and Minister for Welsh Affairs if he is aware that the Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act, 1960, is not being properly applied by all local authorities; and if he will take steps to remedy this.

§ Mr. Corfield
My impression is that the Act has generally had a good effect. Some reports suggest that co-operation between local authorities and the Press is still in some places less satisfactory than it should be but my right hon. Friend does not think that he can usefully intervene.
