HC Deb 29 April 1970 vol 800 c341W
Mr. Jopling

asked 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.
