§ Mr. SillarsTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a list of non-departmental public bodies appointed by him; if he will list the names and employment of each member, showing salaries paid; and what is the total public expenditure involved in running these organisations in a full year.
§ Mr. RifkindThe list of non-departmental public bodies to which I make appointments is contained in the Cabinet 237W Office publication "Public Bodies", a copy of which is available in the Library. The list includes information about the numbers of appointments, the remuneration paid to members, the cost of administration and the public expenditure for which the body is responsible.
One major public body has been set up since the publication of "Public Bodies 1988". This is Scottish Homes, to which I have appointed a chairman (remuneration £28,980 per annum) and eight members (£3,964 per annum).
A list (correct at 5 December 1988) of all the members of the Scottish bodies in "Public Bodies 1988" 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.
