HC Deb 01 June 1967 vol 747 cc76-7W
Mr. Cant

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he will take steps to ensure the impartiality of nationalised industries' consultative councils, by making them financially independent of their respective Ministries and industries, in order that justice should be seen to be done.

Mr. Diamond

I have no reason to think that the present financial arrangements in any way impair the impartiality of nationalised industries' consultative councils.
