Public Bodies (Appointments) (Hansard, 13 July 1972)

§ 1970 Mr. Peter Thomas

The letter and the list I sent to the hon. Member are as follows:

10th July, 1972.

Dear Neil,

In making my written answer to your Question about appointments to public bodies in Wales, I was conscious that the kind of information you had asked for had been given by the Secretary of State for Scotland in a reply to a Question by Mr. Sillars on 28th June (Official Report, Written Answers, Cols. 351–354).

You will note however that he had limited his answer to executive bodies, and I felt sure that you had in mind a wider field than that. As you will see from the enclosure, a list of names in that wider field is very long indeed.

Also I must confess frankly that I was reluctant to publishthe names of persons not reappointed on the completion of a term of service, especially the former members of the Welsh Council. There are many explanations for not renewing such appointments—sometimes the age or poor health of an individual or thepressure of his other commitments, sometimes the desirability of bringing in new blood or trying to improve the range and mixture of experience represented, and so on. I was reluctant to run any risk of embarrassing individuals who have given years of public service by a bald public recital of their names. I am sure you will understand and be in sympathy with this.

Yours,

PETER THOMAS.

Neil McBride, Esq., M.P.
