asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will list the committees, councils, commissions, and other official bodies to which he has appointed members other than civil servants that have been established by him since May 1979, and state in each case the names and full-time employments of those appointed.
Since May 1979, nine wages councils for the retail trades have been amalgamated into two new councils. I appointed the following members to the new wages councils and show their full time employment against their name:
Retail Food and Allied Trades Wages Council ( Great Britain)
Mr. W. Monaghan, Chairman (senior lecturer, Department of Industrial Administration, University of Strathclyde).
Dr. June Stevenson, deputy chairman (senior lecturer, social administration, University of Manchester).
Mr. J. J. Hughes, member (senior lecturer, economics, University of Kent).
Retail Trades ( Non-Food) Wages Council ( Great Britain)
Mr. R. S. Sim, Chairman (principal lecturer in law, Manchester Technical College).
Dr. Sarah Orr, deputy chairman (lecturer in political economy, Glasgow University).
Mrs. B. Smith, member (lecturer in economic planning, the University of Birmingham).
Apart from these two councils, no body has been established since May 1979 to which I appoint members.
