HC Deb 08 July 1991 vol 194 cc265-9W
Mr. McMaster

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will publish a table showing the annual cost of reimbursements and fees to each of his appointees to agencies, commissions and boards for each year since 1980; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Lang

Table 1 shows the annual remuneration at 1 July 1990 to my appointees in paid appointments. Table 2 provides the same information in respect of appointments made jointly with other Ministers. Information for previous years could be provided only at disproportionate cost. However, the Cabinet Office publication "Public Bodies" published each year since 1982 and available in the Library, lists the public bodies to which appointments are made, including the remuneration paid.

Information on expenses paid to members of such bodies is not held centrally.

Paid appointments for which the Secretary of State for Scotland is responsible as at 1 July 1990
