HC Deb 25 January 1991 vol 184 cc360-1W
Mr. Menzies Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list the names and terms of office of the present members of the Scottish Legal Aid Board.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The information requested is as follows:

December 1990 by police force and rank. Vacancies are calculated as authorised establishment less actual strength and take no account of the fact that authorities are allowed to recruit over authorised establishment to replace officers on central service (though practice in this regard varies). This explains why some vacancies have negative values.
