HC Deb 18 January 1979 vol 960 c859W
23. Mr. Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is his policy regarding the appointment of adopted prospective parliamentary candidates to the board of the Housing Executive and similar bodies.

Mr. Carter:

My right hon. Friend believes that the membership of the board of the Northern Ireland Housing Executive should reflect a balance of viewpoints in Northern Ireland. He sees no reason to exclude from membership persons who are or who may become candidates for election to this House.
