My honourable friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence (Derek Twigg) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.

Following an open competition, I am pleased to advise the House of the reappointment of two members to the National Employer Advisory Board (NEAB).

They are:

Viscount Brookeborough

Mr Gordon Scott.

They join the other 12 members of the board, which is chaired by the noble Lord, Lord Glenarthur, and which continues to provide appropriate support in conjunction with the SaBRE campaign to reservists and their employers. I take this opportunity to thank the NEAB for its work, which is greatly valued by the Ministry of Defence.
