asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the total cost in salaries and fees of the paid public appointments for which he is responsible.

Mr. Mulley

Of the order of £197,000 per annum.

Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the names and previous occupations of all those appointed to the public bodies for which he is responsible.

Mr. Mulley

The following have been appointed to full-time posts in the public bodies for which I am responsible:

  • Sir Frederick Dainton, Chairman, UGC, previously Dr. Lee's Professor of Chemistry, Oxford University.
  • Sir Sam Edwards, Chairman, SRC, previously Plummer Professor of Physics, Cambridge University.
  • Dr. H. T. Hookway, Chief Executive, British Library; previously Under-Secretary, Department of Education and Science.
  • Mr. D. T. Richnel, British Library Board, previously Librarian, British Library.
  • Mr. M. L. Line, British Library Board, previously Librarian, British Library.
  • Mr. R. E. Coward, British Library Board, previously Librarian, British Library.

I regret that, because of the numbers involved, similar details for those appointed to part-time posts in public bodies could not be provided, except at disproportionate cost.
