Mr. McNamara

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland who were employed by his Department as consultants before the publication of the draft land law proposals; from what dates they were employed; and what was the cost to public funds.

Dr. Mawhinney

[holding answer 18 July 1991]: The Department of Finance, as it then was, appointed Professor J. C. W. Wylie as its consultant on land law reform on 4 April 1980. Professor Wylie was appointed on an individual basis in accordance with the normal conditions for such appointments. It is not our usual practice to disclose an individual's earnings.
