British Overseas Trade Board

HC Deb 15 November 1976 vol 919 cc392-3W

Mr. Brotherton

asked the Secretary of State for Trade who are the members of the British Overseas Trade Board; and what fees or expenses they are paid.

Mr. Meacher

I would refer the hon. Member to my reply of 26th October 1976 for a list of the members of the British Overseas Trade Board at that date. Lord Briginshaw has since resigned from the Board.

Apart from the Government officials on the Board, members receive no remuneration for their services but may be reimbursed travel and accommodation expenses necessarily incurred on the Board's business.—[Vol. 918, c. 194–5.]
