Post-War Reconstruction Committees

Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland – in the House of Commons at on 8 February 1944.

Alert me about debates like this

Major Lloyd:

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many local authorities in Scotland have appointed post-war reconstruction committees within the areas of their jurisdiction.

Mr. Johnston:

Local authorities are not required to notify me of the appointment of Reconstruction Committees, and I have no information as to the number of Committees which may have been set up.

Major Lloyd:

Will the right hon. Gentleman inject some stimulus into local authorities in this respect?

Secretary of State

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
