HC Deb 16 January 1984 vol 52 c96W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if members of local authorities appointed to joint boards, the London planning commission, or other successor bodies to the Greater London council will be responsible to the local authority of which they are a member, the electorate or the joint board or other successor body.

Mr. Waldegrave

It is proposed that members serving on joint boards will be councillors appointed by the borough councils. They will be recallable at will and would have to reflect the views of these councils. The members of the London planning commission and of the body to take responsibility for debt, superannuation and so on in London, will be appointed by the Secretary of State as individuals.
