§ Mr. HoodTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all the appointments within his control as Secretary of State and all appointments made by him since June 1987, with salaries and expenses.
§ Mr. RifkindThe list of non-departmental public bodies to which I make appointments is contained in the Cabinet Office publication "Public Bodies", a copy of which is available in the Library. The list includes information about the numbers of appointments and the remuneration paid to members. One major body has been set up since the publication of "Public Bodies 1988". This is Scottish Homes to which I have appointed a chairman (remuneration £27,600 per annum) and eight members (£3,775 per annum).
While a list of all appointments made since June 1987 could be provided only at disproportionate cost, a list (correct at 5 December 1988) of all the members of the bodies listed in "Public Bodies" was placed in the Library in response to a Question from the hon. Member for East Lothian (Mr. Home Robertson) answered on 7 December 1988 at column 211.
