Wales established under the Technical Instruction Acts, and the 

 populations for which they act. Of the 129 counties and county 

 boroughs in England and Wales, 67 have technical committees 

 which consist partly of outside members, and 59 have com- 

 mittees consisting solely of councillors, while in three cases no 

 committee has been appointed. The return shows in the case 

 of each committee the number of members who are councillors 

 and the number of outside members, if any, the latter being 

 classified under categories indicating the ground of selection or 

 the interest represented. The members of committee who are 

 councillors have not been so classified, but they fall within one 

 or more of the categories specified.
