HC Deb 15 December 1980 vol 996 cc38-9W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Minister for the Civil Service whether he will give at the latest or most convenient stated date the names of peers who hold any appointments sponsored or coming under the control of his Department and the salary or expenses paid or claimed; and how many meetings or conferences, committees or non-departmental public bodies held during the past 12 months for which he is responsible were attended by them.
