§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Minister of Transport how many statutory appointments are within his patronage; and how many of the recipients of this patronage are of Scottish domicile.
§ Mr. MarshThe statutes provide for me to make up to 126 salaried appointments. Ninety-eight such appointments are held at present, seven of them by people who live in Scotland.
The statutes do not in every case limit the number of holders of non-salaried appointments to the other statutory bodies for which I am responsible; 396 such appointments are current, and 51 of them are held by people who live in Scotland
