HC Deb 14 June 1966 vol 729 c257W
50. Mr. David Griffiths

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government what experience in local government the Chairman of the Royal Commission on Local Government, Sir John Maud, has had; and in what capacity he has served in local government.

Mr. Crossman:

Sir John Maud served as a member of Oxford City Council from 1930–1936; he was Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Education from 19451952; and has been Chairman of the Committee on Management in Local Government since 1964. With this experience and as the author of a standard work on local government he is uniquely equipped for the chairmanship of the Royal Commission.
