asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list those bodies for which he is responsible which either receive public funds or to which he makes appointments.

Other than those Government Departments for which my right hon. Friend is directly responsible, he has responsibility for making public funds available to the National Economic Development Office and making certain appointments to the council and committees. He also makes certain appointments to the Review Board for Government Contracts and to the Advisory Panel—Section 482, Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970.
