§ Mr. G. Campbellasked the Prime Minister whether the letters of appointment of part-time members of a new town development corporation still require them to abstain from the making of political speeches or other political activity on matters affecting the work of that corporation; and what steps are taken to secure compliance with such requirements.
§ The Prime Minister:If the hon. Member has in mind an appointment in Scotland, he should address his Question to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Scotland: if in England, to my right hon. Friend the Minister of Housing and Local Government: and if in Wales, to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales. They would each, I am sure, be happy to let him have details of the rules and conventions governing political activity by the appointees to whom his Question relates.
