§ Mr. BaldryTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish in theOfficial Report a list of those people appointed by him to be independent members of the boards of governors of higher education corporations.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerI have today published in theOfficial Report a list of the people I appointed as independent members of the boards of governors of the higher education corporations.
I was impressed by the high calibre of many of the candidates who were willing to put themselves forward for appointment as governors. It is heartening to see that so many able people from a wide variety of fields want to be associated with these higher education institutions. Governors have been drawn from across the spectrum of industry and commerce, from major companies to individual entrepreneurs and from all the professions. This will help to give the new sector the best possible start.
