HC Deb 26 February 1969 vol 778 c312W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the President of the Board of Trade how many statutory appointments are within his patronage; and how many of the recipients of this patronage are of Scottish domicile.

Mr. Crosland

I assume that the hon. Member has in mind appointments to statutory bodies outside the Civil Service. I am responsible for 245 current appointments. It would not be practicable to try to distinguish those holders of these appointments who are of Scottish domicile.
