§ Mr. Campbell-SavoursTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster (1) if he will list the name of the chairman of each quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation where Ministers are responsible for the appointment; [996]
(2) if he will list the name of each member of each quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation in Cumbria, identifying the chairman separately; [998]

(4) if he will list each quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisation in Cumbria. [997]
§ Dr. David ClarkUnfortunately, not all this information is held centrally. However, I refer my hon. Friend to the information now available on the Internet (www.open.gov.uk/pau/paupoint.htm) which sets out appointments made by Ministers to boards of executive non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) and NHS bodies—approximately 8,500 appointments in total. Information on appointments to advisory NDPBs and other bodies is available from sponsoring departments and is often set out in departmental publications, such as departmental annual reports, copies of which are available in the Libraries of the House.
The Cabinet Office publication Public Bodies 1996, also available in the House Libraries, lists all NDPBs and nationalised industries, together with certain public corporations and NHS bodies, and identifies those appointments made by The Queen and Her Ministers. This information however is not set out by region.
