HC Deb 18 November 1964 vol 702 c58W
48. Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what plans he has for increasing democratic control and local representation in the new towns development corporations.

Mr. Ross

In appointing members to development corporations, I intend to secure the fullest representation of local opinion that is consistent with my responsibility to Parliament for the administration of new towns as national enterprises financed wholly by the Exchequer.
