§ Mr. Dicksasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he has decided on the future membership of the social security advisory committee.
§ Mr. FowlerThe appointments of nine members of the social security advisory committee expire on 23 November 1983. I am very pleased to announce that I have decided to re-appoint eight of these members for a further three-year term. My colleagues and I have great respect for the hard work undertaken by the committee, which has perhaps the most extensive remit of any independent advisory body. These re-appointments, together with the re-appointment of the chairman, Sir Arthur Armitage, which I announced earlier this year, will enable the SSAC to build upon the solid foundations it has already laid down.
I have also decided to appoint two new members to the committee, to replace a retiring member and to fill an existing vacancy. Their terms of appointment will also run for three years from 24 November 1983 and I am glad to welcome them to the committee.
The names of those appointed or re-appointed to the committee are:
