§ Mr. Peter AinsworthTo ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will list those employees, executives and directors of(a) Tesco, (b) J Sainsbury, (c) Safeway, (d) Asda and (e) other food retailers who have been appointed to advisory and other roles on bodies in receipt of public funds since May 1997; and if he will list the terms of each such appointment.

§ Mr. LeslieInformation on the career history of people appointed to non-departmental public bodies, task forces, ad hoc advisory groups and reviews is not held centrally, and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
However, the names of the chairs of public bodies are listed in the annual Cabinet Office publication "Public Bodies".
The names of the chairs of task forces, ad hoc advisory groups and reviews are listed in the "Report on Task Forces, Ad Hoc Advisory Groups and Reviews". Four of these reports have so far been published in January 2000, July 2000, December 2000 and October 2001. The report published in January 2000 provided information and details between May 1997 and October 1999.
Copies of "Public Bodies" and of the "Reports on Task Forces, Ad Hoc Advisory Groups and Reviews" have been placed in the Libraries of the House.
