Mr. Canavan

asked the Secretary of State for Transport whether he will list all the public appointments for which he is responsible, the names of the present holders of these appointments and their salaries and allowances.

Mr. William Rodgers

The paid appointments are those shown under British Railways Board, British Transport Docks Board, National Bus Company, National Ports Council, and Port Authorities on pages 34, 37, 39 and 40 of "A Directory of Paid Appointments made by Ministers" issued by the Civil Service Department and published by HMSO in April 1976.
