HC Deb 15 December 1969 vol 793 cc254-5W
Mr. Wellbeloved

asked the Minister of Housing and Local Government if he will make a statement on the chairmanship of the New Towns Commission and on the chairmanship of the Land Commission presently occupied by Sir Henry Wells.

Mr. Greenwood

Sir Henry has notified me that his private commitment will prevent him from continuing as Chairman of the New Towns Commission beyond 30th June, 1970, and I have with regret accepted his resignation as from that date. I have asked Sir Henry to continue also as Chairman of the Land Commission until 30th June, 1970, and he has agreed.
