§ Mr. Elystan Morgan62; 51; 73. The chairman and two members appointed by the Home Secretary hold and vacate office in accordance with the terms of the instrument of their appointment.

The two remaining members are the chairman for the time being of the Bookmakers' Committee, which may regulate its own procedure, and the chairman for the time being of the Totalisator Board, who is appointed by my right hon. Friend on terms similar to those which apply to the members of the Levy Board so appointed.
