Coal Board (Vacancy)

24.

Mr. Beresford Craddock
asked the Minister of Fuel and Power when the vacancy created by the death of Sir Arthur Street will be filled.

Mr. P. Noel-Baker
I hope to fill in the early future the vacancy on the Coal Board created by the lamented death of Sir Arthur Street; but I regret that I cannot yet give a definite date.

Miss Ward
Does the same apply to the position vacated by Sir Eric Young?

Mr. Speaker
That is another question.
