HC Deb 17 January 2000 vol 342 c329W
Mr. Wigley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list the public bodies to which he makes appointments. [103052]

Mr. Paul Murphy

I make one appointment to the Parliamentary Boundary Commission for Wales.

In addition, the Secretary of State for Wales has power under their Royal Charters to make appointments to a number of public bodies which operate in relation to matters for which responsibility has transferred to the Assembly. Those bodies are considering whether their Royal Charters should be amended to transfer these powers to the Assembly, but that process is not yet complete.
