HC Deb 11 February 1965 vol 706 c112W
38. Mr. R. W. Elliott

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs if he will now give the size and political composition of his proposed regional planning boards.

Mr. George Brown

It is clear that the hon. Gentleman is confusing the Boards which will consist wholly of officials with the Councils which will consist of representatives of local opinion. It is therefore impossible to answer his Question in the terms he has put it down.
