asked the Minister of Labour whether he will consider, having regard to the close and intimate connection that the members of the National Union of Manufacturers have in the selection and training of supervisors in their employ, co-opting a member of the National Union of Manufacturers on to his Committee for the Selection and Training of Supervisors in Industry.

I do not wish this Committee to be too large and I would prefer, therefore, not to add to its membership. I hope, however, that the knowledge and experience of members of the National Union of Manufacturers can be made available to the Committee, and I am writing to the hon. Member about how this can be arranged.
