HC Deb 25 June 1976 vol 913 cc677-8W
Mr. Forman

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the total cost in salaries and fees of the paid public appointments for which he is responsible.

Mr. Peart

The total annual cost over the past year in salaries and fees of the paid public appointments for which I am responsible—in some cases jointly with my right hon. Friends the Secretaries of State for Scotland and Northern Ireland, and my right hon. and learned Friend the Secretary of State for Wales, as appropriate—was about £178,000.

Mr. Forman

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list the names and previous occupations of all those appointed to the public bodies for which he is responsible.

Mr. Peart

I regret that the information is not readily available and could only be assembled at disproportionate cost.
