§ Mr. WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the members of the Clyde River purification board, the duration of appointment, and the body by which nominated.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe Secretary of State is responsible for appointing only one-third of the members of each river purification board, which he does, after consulting such bodies as he thinks fit, to represent the interests of agriculture, fisheries, industry etc. in the board's area. Of the rest, one-third are appointed by the regional councils wholly or partly within the board's area from among their own members, and the remaining third similarly by the district councils. Those appointed by the Secretary of State generally serve for a term of four years, but may be reappointed.
A list of the members of the Clyde River purification board appointed by the Secretary of State, showing the expiry date for each member's term of office and the body or bodies responsible for each nomination, is inserted in the table. The names and appointing authorities of the regional and district council members will be found on page 4 of the Clyde River purification board's annual report for 1988, a copy of which is being placed in the Library of the House.
