HC Deb 20 January 1975 vol 884 cc219-20W
Mr. John Garrett

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list those bodies for which he is responsible which either receive public funds or to which he makes appointments.

Mr. Mason

In addition to the Armed Forces, and the organisations run by them, I have a responsibility for the following bodies which receive grants in aid from Defence Votes:

  • The Royal Marines Museum.
  • The Submarine Museum.
  • The Fleet Air Arm Museum.
  • The National Army Museum.
  • The Royal Air Force Museum.

I make a large number of appointments to standing committees, advisory bodies, boards of trustees and similar organisations. It would involve disproportionate effort and cost to public funds to list all these.
