§ Mr. Gareth WardellTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list for each non-departmental public body in Wales to which he appoints members(a) the title of the organisation, (b) the number of non-executive members which represents the full complement and (c) the actual current number of non-executive members which have been appointed.
§ Mr. RedwoodThe information given in the following table relates to all executive NDPBs and NHS bodies in Wales. In each case, the figures show (i) the maximum—and, where applicable, the minimum—number of members who may be appointed, including the chairman and vice-deputy chairman; and (ii) the number of appointments which were current at 1 December 1994.
