Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, what officials will be seconded from his Department to serve on the proposed Welsh Rural Development Board.

Mr. Peart

It is not proposed to second any official to serve on the Board but the Board when recruiting staff may wish to avail themselves of the services of some officials on a secondment basis.

Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which bodies other than local authorities he has consulted in connection with the establishment of a Rural Development Board in Wales.

Mr. Peart

In addition to local authorities the Secretary of State for Wales and I have consulted a wide range of public bodies and organisations representing the various interests concerned.
