§ Mr. Barry JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the estimated total number of people he has currently appointed to public bodies in Wales; and what is the estimated total annual amount paid to those members appointed by him to public bodies in Wales.
§ Mr. David HuntThe total number of people I have currently appointed to public bodies in Wales is 1,195. Information on the total amount paid to those members appointed is not collected centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Information on the level of remuneration for each appointment was given in the reply I gave the hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. Redmond) on 30 October 1992, at columns866–908.
