HC Deb 22 October 1991 vol 196 cc650-4W
Mr. Maxton

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, pursuant to his answer in theOfficial Report, 14 May, columns 145–53, if he will give the numbers of appointments he makes to every quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation in Scotland; and the date of creation of each body.

Mr. Lang

Table I shows the information requested as at 1 July 1990. The list is longer than that in my reply to the hon. Member for The Wrekin (Mr. Grocott) on 14 May 1991 because his question related only to those bodies on which vacancies would arise in 1991 and 1992. Table 2 shows the information requested in respect of bodies created since July 1990. In addition I make a number of appointments to United Kingdom bodies jointly with other Ministers.
