HC Deb 18 February 1965 vol 706 cc243-4W
43. Mr. Hazell

asked the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for Economic Affairs what will be the rôle of the district advisory committees of the regional boards for industry in the new organisation to be created by him.

Mr. William Rodgers

The present District Advisory Committees are appointed by the regional boards for industry, which will be wound up when the new machinery comes into operation. But we intend to find a way of continuing the valuable work done by the committees and we will discuss this with the chairmen of the economic planning councils as soon as we can.
