St. Vincent Drilling LtdR. A. Dingwall-Smith, C.BRetired
J. G. N. DrummondCompany Director
For those persons marked * above, where the full-time occupation has not been stated, an indication is given of the activity relevant to the appointment.

I have also made appointments jointly with other Ministers to the Farm Animal Welfare Council, for which my right hon. Friend the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food has the lead responsibility.

I regret that the Council for Tertiary Education in Scotland was omitted from the reply which I gave my hon. Friend on 24 January.

The St. Vincent Drilling Ltd., a company owned 50 per cent. by me and 50 per cent. by the British National Oil Corporation was incorporated in May 1979 as a result of agreements entered into by the previous Administration for the ordering of a drilling rig from the Marathon Shipbuilding Company (UK) Ltd. St. Vincent Drilling has subsequently sold the rig. The company is now dormant and, as indicated in the White Paper " Report on Non-Departmental Public Bodies" (Cmnd. 7797), I plan to wind up the Government interest in it as soon as possible.
