Mr. Leslie

Information on advisory and executive non-departmental public bodies, tribunals and other public bodies is published in the annual Cabinet Office publication "Public Bodies". This includes the location of the bodies concerned, their terms of reference, expenditure, appointments and remuneration. The next edition of Public Bodies will be published shortly, and a copy will be placed in the Library of the House in the usual way.
