§ Mrs. Ann Taylorasked the Minister for the Civil Service what is the total number of central and national advisory councils; what is their total membership; and how many service each Department.
§ Mr. Charles R. MorrisA list of such advisory bodies is prepared annually on the basis of departmental returns. A copy of this list, as at 1st July 1975, is now available in the Library of the House and I am sending my hon. Friend a copy. Total membership numbers, which often fluctuate, are not available centrally.
