HC Deb 01 March 1985 vol 74 cc315-6W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish in the Official Report, for each public body to which he makes appointments, the financial remuneration paid to each member for each year since 1979, separately distinguishing between expenses and income.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Particulars of financial remuneration paid to each member of each of the public bodies appointed solely by me are included where appropriate in the publication Public Bodies which has been updated annually since 1982 and copies of which are available in the House of Commons Library. The remuneration paid at 1 July 1984 is included in "Public Bodies 1984" published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office on 18 December 1984. Details of remuneration paid prior to 1982 are not available in readily accessible form and could not be provided without disproportionate cost.

Information on expenses paid to individual appointees is not held centrally.
