HC Deb 20 December 1983 vol 51 c162W
Mr. Michael Forsyth

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list for each year since 1978–79 the total number of appointments of all kinds it fell within his power to make, whether or not such appointments actually fell to be made in the year in question.

Mr. Jopling

I regret that this information could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
