§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish in theOfficial Report the names of the chairman and executive members of the Sea Fish Industry Authority, their terms of office, remuneration and from whence they were recruited for these posts.
§ Mr. CurryThe chairman and other members of the authority were appointed on 1 October 1990 and the deputy chairman on 1 December. Appointments are normally for a three-year period, but Ministers may, under certain circumstances, terminate an appointment at any time during that three-year period.
The board comprises 12 members appointed by Ministers. The chairman and deputy chairman and two other members are independent members who have no direct financial or commercial interest in the fishing industry. The other members are drawn from various sectors of the fishing and fish processing industry and the industry is consulted on their appointments. These 192W members represent the industry as a whole rather than their own particular sector. The chairman receives £25,490 and the deputy chairman £11,909 and the other board members £5,330 per annum for their services.
Names of the authority's board members and their position are given in the table. Further biographical details were given in the MAFF news releases 296/90 of 30 August, 321/90 of 25 September and 385/90 of 4 December, copies of which are in the Library of the House.
