Mr. Vaz

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food 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. [16778]

Mr. Morley

My right hon. Friend has made 211 public appointments since 1 May. Of these:

  • (a) 46 (21 per cent.) receive remuneration (salary or fees);
  • (b) 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.
