§ Mr. David Youngasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many of the Minister's nominations to the North-West regional health authority over the last 10 years from Bolton have had political affiliations to Labour, Conservative or other political parties; and when the last person with Labour political affiliations was nominated.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeSince we appoint all regional health authority chairmen and members for their personal qualities and not to represent sectional or particular interests, we do not hold full records of political affiliations.
