§ Mr. Dykesasked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list for all bodies (other than committees) to which he appoints members, other than civil servants, the authority for making the appointment.
§ Mr. ShoreThe authorities for the paid appointments made by me are given under the bodies listed on pages 34–43 of "A Directory of Paid Public Appointments made by Ministers" issued by the Civil Service Department and published by HMSO in April 1976 except appointments to British Railways Board, British Transport Docks Board, National Bus 365W 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. Information in respect of the unpaid appointments made by me will take time to collect. I shall write to the hon. Member as soon as it is available.
