§ Mrs. Ewingasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many stautory appointments are within his patronage; and how many of the recipients of this patronage are of Scottish domicile.
§ Mr. Edward ShortThe appointments which I may make under direct authority given to me by statute (excluding appointments made under Charter) number about 90, but nearly 70 of these are made under statutes which apply only to England and Wales or to specific institutions situated in England. Of the remaining appointments, one is at present held by someone living in Scotland.
