§ Mr. CanavanTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales whether he will update the information given in his answer to the hon. Member for Don Valley (Mr. Redmond) on 30 October 1992,Official Report, columns 866–908; and if he will state the political affiliation of the appointees where known.
§ Mr. David HuntInformation is not collected about the political affiliations, if any, of appointees. Although these are public and well known in some cases, in other cases they are either not known at all or are known only on a private basis.
As the updated information requested is some 50 pages in length, I have arranged for a copy to be placed in the Library of the House.
