§ Mr. McCartneyasked the Secretary of State for Industry if he will publish a list of all public appointments which fall within his departmental responsibility to make or recommend, together with the salaries currently paid to each, where appropriate, and the dates upon which all existing appointments expire; whether applications or nominations from the general public are allowed; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BennInformation on the main appointments concerned can be found in the White Paper listing members of public boards of a commercial nature (Cmnd 5609). It is not customary to invite applications for public appointments of304W this kind as they fall vacant. But I am glad at any time to hear about people whose qualifications and experience equip them for such appointments.
