§ Mr. PrenticeIn my replies to my hon. Friend the Member for Fife, Central (Mr. William Hamilton) and the hon. Member for Pudsey (Mr. Giles Shaw) on 8th April and 11th May, respectively —[Vol. 909, c. 252; Vol. 911, c. 151–52]— I provided details of the emoluments paid in 1970 and 1975 to those I have appointed to public bodies.
