To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many public appointments he has made since 1 May; and how many and what percentage of these (a) receive remuneration and (b) are of (i) Afro-Caribbean and (ii) Asian origin. [16773]

I have made 56 appointments, singly or jointly, since 1 May. Of these appointments 19 (34 per cent.) are remunerated.

The information about ethnic origin cannot be provided since to do so would risk identifying individuals without their consent. My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster has provided information for all departments in an aggregated form.
