HC Deb 11 November 1976 vol 919 c238W
Mr. Forman

asked the Prime Minister if he will issue instructions to his departmental Ministers to limit the extent and cost of paid public appointments made by them; and if he will make a statement of his policy in this matter.

The Prime Minister

Ministers, as a matter of continuing policy, keep under review the numbers and costs of the appointments they make: there is no need to issue special instructions.
