Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in view of the fact that the British Agricultral Export Council is now aided by Government grants, if he will seek to ensure that Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland be each represented on its Finance and General Purposes Committee.

Mr. Cledwyn Hughes

The Council is an independent body and the elections to the Finance and General Purposes Committee are a matter for the members of the Council within the terms of its constitution. Persons from all parts of the United Kingdom may be nominated for membership of the Finance and General Purposes Committee by full members of the Council.
