Mr. Ainger

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will list the present membership of the Milford Haven port authority and in each case by whom they were appointed; which companies or organisations they represent; in which county they live; when their office will terminate; and what is their remuneration. [20811]

Mr. Norris

The constitution of the Milford Haven port authority provides for the Secretary of State to appoint the chairman and eight or nine other members. One of these has to be appointed after consultation with representatives of organised labour in Wales—in practice the Wales Trade Union Congress—two after consultation with local authorities and two after consultation with the oil industry. The remainder must have wide experience of and have shown capacity in shipping, commercial and financial matters, and so on, as set out in the constitution. The general manager is appointed as an ex-officio member by the MHPA board.

The detailed information requested is as follows:

The remuneration is £8,805 for the chairman, £4,400.80 for the vice-chairman and £1,409.71 for members.
