HC Deb 04 July 1967 vol 749 c209W
41. Mr. Peyton

asked the Minister of Power what representations he has now received concerning the appointments he has made to the National Steel Corporation; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Marsh

I have received a number of views on the appointments, some complimentary, others less so. I was not intending to make a statement.

48. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Minister of Power if he will give a direction to the Steel Corporation that it shall consult him before appointing chairmen to regional groups.

Mr. Marsh

No. Appointments to the staff of the National Steel Corporation, including chairmen of regional groups, are a matter for the Corporation. Appointments to membership of the Corporation are made by me after consultation with the Chairman.
