To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will list all the appointments he has made annually since 1979 where the remuneration for duties was in the ranges (a) £20,000 to £25,000, (b) £25,000 to £30,000, (c) £30,000 to £35,000, (d) 35,000 to £40,000 (e) £40,000 to £50,000 and (f) above £50,000 per annum.
Information about appointments made in each year is not consistently available in the form requested. Listed in the table are the current appointments made at the requested salary levels. The Cabinet Office publication "Public Bodies" produced annually gives for each Government Department details of current appointments, including remuneration, as at 1 July each year.In addition, I make some appointments jointly with other Secretaries of State.
