Mr. William Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list the members of the Equal Opportunities Commission for Northern Ireland whom he has appointed since May 1979, together with their occupational background and political and religious affiliations, where known, and their geographical base; and if he will give the same information about those whom they replaced.
