asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will publish in the Official Report a list of all the bodies in Northern Ireland to which he appoints members, showing the names and addresses of all the members and the sums paid from public funds to each member and for the work of the body concerned; and if he will provide the same information in regard to any other body which is supported by annual sums from public funds although he does not appoint members to it.
[pursuant to his reply, 12 November 1979, c. 476]: My current review of these matters is not yet complete. Certain information relating to the 22 bodies to which I appoint members is set out in the table below. I shall consider when I have completed my review what information should be published about the other bodies to which the hon. Member refers.
