HC Deb 12 March 1998 vol 308 c298W
Mrs. Lait

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many of the appointments to public bodies which he has made since 1 May 1997 have been from the Public Appointments Unit list. [33250]

Mr. Morley

Of the 147 appointments made since 1 May 1997, 13 have been from the Public Appointments Unit List.

Nominations of candidates for MAFF public appointments come from a wide range of sources, including the Public Appointments Unit and advertising, to ensure that there is the widest possible dissemination of information about vacancies.
