HC Deb 02 February 1983 vol 36 c140W
Mr. Maxton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will list the names of all those he has appointed to public bodies since May 1979.

Mr. Younger

At 1 April 19821 had sole responsibility for appointing 3,868 members to 262 bodies and joint responsibility with other Ministers for appointing another 573 members to 46 bodies. A list of the names of all those appointed since May 1979 is not readily available and could not be provided except at disproportionate cost.
