HC Deb 09 December 1970 vol 808 cc122-3W
Mr. John Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what are the names of each consumer consultative council to which members are appointed by him in the railway and waterways industries, the number of members, salaries of chairmen, number of staffs, expenses of members, and the total cost of each council.

Mr. Eldon Griffiths

The information is as follows:

Mr. John Morris

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether there are any members of any consumer consultative organisation appointed by him for any organisation other than the railway and waterways industries; and if so at what cost.

Mr. Peter Walker

There are two statutory bodies for port users to which I appoint members, the Humber Local Board and the Southampton Local Board. In addition all major ports have port user consultative committees which in most cases have been set up on the invitation of port authorities. No costs fall to my Department in respect of the port user committees.
