§ Mr. Joplingasked the Secretary of State for Local Government and Regional Planning who is the Deputy Chairman of the Northern Economic Planning Council; and when he was appointed.
§ Mr. Crosland:No member of the Northern Economic Planning Council has been formally appointed as the deputy chairman. I regret that in answering a supplementary question from the hon. Member on 3rd March I may have misled him by implying that Dr. William Reid, who is at present acting as Chairman, had previously been deputy chairman.
