HC Deb 22 March 1973 vol 853 c182W
Mr. Adley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT those regional hospital boards which have more than one-third of their members recommended by the Labour Party or its affiliates.

Sir K. Joseph

None. Recommendations are invited from a wide range of interests in accordance with Section 11 and Part I of the Third Schedule to the National Health Service Act, 1946 but members are selected because of the individual contributions they can make. Political parties are not consulted.
