§ Mr. David Steelasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all official, full- and part-time paid appointments made by him with the salaries attached to these posts.
§ Mr. William RossI am responsible, or jointly responsible with other Ministers, for making approximately 400 paid appointments. Some receive salaries and others are fee paid. The detailed information which the hon. Member has requested is not readily available in comprehensive form. My Department is, however, currently preparing a list of all paid appointments for which I am responsible, and when this is completed I shall arrange for a copy to be sent to the hon. Member. A copy will also be placed in the House of Commons Library.
