LORD SHACKLETON

I regret that this information is not available, although some of the information sought by the noble Lord may be obtained by comparing the House of Commons Disqualification Acts with the List of Members of Public Boards of a Commercial Character published annually as a Command Paper. To obtain the information in full would involve a disproportionate expenditure of time and money.
