§ Mr. RifkindAdvisory committees with a life of more than 12 months to which I make appointments are listed in "Public Bodies". No central record is maintained of committees with a life of less than 12 months, but among those not listed in "Public Bodies" which have been wound up since 1982 are as follows:
- Museums Advisory Board
- Denny and Bonnybridge Morbidity Review
- Committee of Inquiry into the Pay and Conditions of Teachers in Scotland
- Working Group on Suicide Precautions at Glenochil
- Committee for Clinical Nursing Studies
The Committee for Clinical Nursing Studies did not appear in "Public Bodies" because it was wound up before NHS bodies were first included in that publication (1983 edition).
