Mr. Freud
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now publish a press release further to his release 82/189, giving his reasons why the terms of office of each of his six regional health authority chairmen who have been replaced, were not renewed.
Mr. Fowler
I have already informed the House of the approach I have adopted in this year's round of appointments in my replies to my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Edgbaston (Mrs. Knight) on 23 June—[Vol. 26, c. 128]—and to the hon. Member for Crewe (Mrs. Dunwoody) on 30 June—[Vol. 26, c. 333.] In accordance with previous practice by Governments of all parties, I am not prepared to make public considerations relating to the appointment or reappointment of particular individuals.
