HC Deb 23 March 1973 vol 853 cc192-3W
Mr. Heffer

asked the Minister of State for Defence what is the annual salary of the Director and Chairman of the Territorial Council; who are the members of the body; and in what manner they are appointed.

Mr. Blaker

I assume the hon. Member is referring to the Council of Territorial Auxiliary and Volunteer Reserve Associations. This has no director and its chairman is unpaid. The council consists of representatives of the 14 associations, two TAVR officers nominated by the Ministry of Defence to represent the Central Volunteer Headquarters of the Territorial and Army Volunteer Reserve, and up to five members co-opted by the Council. In addition there is an advisory committee on the TAVR—of which I act as Chairman—the membership of which includes representatives of the Ministry of Defence, the Council of the TAVRAs and two representatives each of the Confederation of British Industry and the Trades Union Congress.
