HC Deb 22 April 1996 vol 276 cc53-6W
Dr. Wright

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many people from each region appear on both the public appointments unit central and reserve lists. [25964]

Mr. Willetts

It is not possible to give fully accurate information as individuals may be counted as being in more one region if they live in one area and work in another, or if they have homes in different areas.

Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland also maintain their own central lists.

The available information requested is as follows

Region Number of people on the public appointments unit list
East Anglia 708
East Midlands 258
West Midlands 315
South East 2,622
Northern 174
North West 282
South West 401
Yorkshire and Humberside 286
Northern Ireland 19
Scotland 1130
Wales 1106
Elsewhere 236
Total 5,327
1Individuals in this category are those who are currently living or working overseas.
2This figure is higher than the total number of people currently on the public appointments unit's list (5, 085 at 18 April 1996).
