§ Mr. ShoreAs the range and number of bodies covered by the hon. Member's Questions are large, the information could be provided only at a disproportionate cost to public funds. The bodies to which I make appointments, and the number of appointments made to each body, were listed in my answer to a Question from the hon. Member for Leek (Mr. Knox) on 19th October 1976.—[Vol. 917, c. 377–9.] The paid appointments are those shown on pages 34–43 of "A Directory of Paid Public Appointments made by Ministers" issued by the Civil Service Department and published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office in April 1976, except those under British Railways Board, British Transport Docks Board, National Bus Company, National Freight Corporation, National Ports Council and port authorities which are now made by my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Transport.
