(a)a chairman appointed by the Secretary of State as being an independent person;
(b)members appointed by the development corporation for the new town for which the committee is constituted, or, if the committee is constituted for two new towns, by the development corporations for those new towns in such proportions as the Secretary of State may by order specify;
(c)members appointed from among their number by the licensing justices for the licensing district in which is situated the area for which the committee is constituted, or, if that area is situated in more than one licensing district, by the licensing justices for those districts in such proportions as the Secretary of State may by order specify.
