§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Employment and Productivity how many statutory appointments are within her patronage; and how many of the recipients of this patronage are of Scottish domicile.
§ Mr. HattersleyI would refer the hon. Member to the Answer about salaried statutory appointments which I gave my hon. Friend the Member for Fife, West (Mr. William Hamilton) on 9th December, 1968. In addition, my right hon.202W Friend makes a large number of unpaid statutory appointments; information about these is not readily available. I regret that it would not be practicable to say how many of those holders of appointments are of Scottish domicile.—[Vol. 774/5, c. 25.]
