§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list each of the sources his Department uses for names from which to make appointments to non-departmental public bodies.
§ Mr. LangAs can be seen from the current edition of "Public Bodies", copies of which are available in the Libraries of the House, I make appointments to more than 160 different non-departmental public bodies which differ widely in nature and remit. The sources of names for appointment are equally diverse. I am always pleased to receive names for public appointment from any source.
