§ Dr. GodmanTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will publish in theOfficial Report the names of the chairman and members of the Sea Fish Industry Authority, the organisations, agencies and associations whence they were recruited, their tenure of office and their remuneration.
§ Mr. CurryThe chairman and members of the authority were appointed on 1 October 1990. 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 of 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 members represent the industry as a whole rather than 918W their own particular sector. The chairman receives £25,490 and the board members £5,330 per annum for their services.
Names of the authority's board members and their position are as follows. Further biographical details were given in the MAFF news release 321/90 of 25 September, a copy of which is in the Library of the House. An announcement on the appointment of a deputy chairman will be made shortly.
