Mr. Alasdair Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list the non-departmental public bodies responsible to him which have duties relating to Scotland, indicating their budget and staffing in Scotland, the number of Scottish board members and their emoluments. [137697]

Dr. Moonie

None of the non-departmental public bodies sponsored by the Ministry of Defence have duties which relate specifically to Scotland, but the following have a remit which covers the United Kingdom:

  • The RAF Museum
  • The National Army Museum
  • The Defence Nuclear Safety Committee.

The remaining information is not held centrally in the form requested. General information on expenditure, staffing, board members and levels of remuneration is published annual in the Cabinet Office publication "Public Bodies". Copies of "Public Bodies 1999" are available in the Libraries of the House and "Public Bodies 2000" is due to be published next month. Information on all Government non-departmental public bodies is also available at the Cabinet Office Public Appointments Directory website www.cabinet-office.gov.uk; information on Ministry of Defence bodies is available at the MOD website www.mod.uk.
