HC Deb 28 June 1972 vol 839 cc352-3W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a list of the persons he has appointed to public bodies since coming to office; and if he will also publish a list of persons whose tenure of office on public bodies came to an end during the last two years and who were not reappointed.

Mr. Gordon Campbell

The main executive bodies to which I make paid appointments are the two Scottish Electricity Boards, the Scottish Transport Group, the Highlands and Islands Development Board, the Scottish Tourist Board, the Scottish Special Housing Association and the five New Town Development Corporations. Information relating to these bodies is given below.

Altogether I make a total of approximately 3,350 appointments to some 408 bodies, some of these jointly with other Ministers, and if there is any further category in which the hon. Member is particularly interested, I shall be happy to give him what help I can if he will let me know.
