asked the President of the Board of Education whether he is aware of the deep feeling of resentment felt among the young farmers' clubs of Wales at the failure to place on the Welsh Youth Advisory Committee a representative of agricultural youth; and whether he will take steps to see that the youth of the countryside are represented?
The members of the Welsh Youth Committee were selected, not as representatives of particular organisations or sections of the community, but on the ground of their individual interest in, and close acquaintance with, youth problems in Wales. The Committee includes members who are familiar with conditions in rural Wales and I am satisfied that the Committee as a whole have consistently kept in mind the needs of rural areas and that they fully appreciate the importance of making appropriate provision for the youth of those areas.
