Mr Thomas Williams (Don Valley)
Yes, Sir. I am glad to say that Sir Frederick Burrows has accepted the chairmanship of the Agricultural Land Commission. There will, to start with, be four other members. Sir Bryner Jones will be the Welsh member, and will act as the deputy chairman of the main Commission and chairman of the Welsh Sub-Commission. The other members are the Hon. Geoffrey Bourke, Mr. Watson Jones and Sir Francis Wylie. The other members of the Welsh Sub-Commission are Colonel Llewellyn Humphreys, Mr. D. Morgan Rees and Colonel Wynne Finch. All the appointments will for the present be on a part-time basis, and the initial term of office will be for three years. I am circulating brief particulars about the members in the OFFICIAL REPORT. The Commission and Sub-Commission will start work on 1st January, 1948
Mr Thomas Williams (Don Valley)
All the members already chosen have experience of administration and management of things generally.
