Mr. John David Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he has appointed a member of a secret society, the Knights of St. Columbanus, as a member of the Fair Employment Agency; and if he will make a statement.
§ Dr. BoysonAppointments to the Fair Employment Agency are made on the basis of an individual's personal qualities, experience and likely contribution to the work of the agency, and individual members have varied interests and backgrounds. One recent appointee is a member of the Knights of St. Columbanus. I am satisfied that members of the agency discharge their responsibilities competently and with the integrity which the task requires.
