§ Mr. Simsasked the Secretary of State for Prices and Consumer Protection what are his criteria for making appointments to the transport users' consultative committee for London; how many of the present members of the committee were nominated by passenger associations; and if, when next making appointments to the committee, he will ensure the passenger associations are adequately represented.
§ Mr. Maclennan:Myrighthon. Friend selects members of transport users consultative committees in order to represent the widest possible range of interests. None of the present members of the London Transport users consultative committee were nominated by passenger associations although most of them are known to be regular rail users. Members are appointed in their personal capacity and any suggestions for membership will be considered on their merits.
