This edition gives a snapshot as at 31 March 2002. Public bodies carry out a wide range of functions on behalf of Government and between them, the main ones spend just over£20 billion of public money each year. As part of the Government’s commitment to transparency and accountability, the Cabinet Office collects and publishes annually information about public bodies as a whole, to supplement information about individual bodies already contained in departmental Annual Reports. The scope of this publication Previous editions of this publication have reported on the public bodies sponsored by the Devolved Administrations as well as UK Government departments. In recognition of the bedding down of the devolved arrangements, this year’s publication gives full information, summary statistics and analysis only for bodies sponsored by UK Government departments (this would include the Northern Ireland Office, the Scotland Office and the Welsh Office as appropriate). Summary information about bodies sponsored by the Scottish Executive is at pages 153–4. Subject to parliamentary approval of the necessary legislative changes, appointments to those bodies will be separately monitored by the Commissioner for Public Appointments for Scotland from 2003. Information about bodies sponsored by the Welsh Assembly Government and the Northern Ireland Assembly is contained at pages 155–162 and 123–151 respectively. It is proposed that appointments made by the Welsh Assembly Government be separately monitored by a Commissioner for Public Appointments for Wales from 2004. More information can be obtained directly from the Devolved Administrations. What is a public body? A public body is not part of a government department, but carries out its function to a greater or lesser extent at arm’s length from central government. Ministers are ultimately responsible to Parliament for the activities of the bodies sponsored by their department and in almost all cases (except, for example, where there is separate statutory provision) ministers make the appointments to their boards. Departments are responsible for funding and ensuring good governance of their public bodies. In this publication, each body is listed under the heading of the government department that is its sponsor. The term “public body” is a general one which includes: Nationalised Industries, such as the British Waterways Board; Public Corporations, such as the BBC; NHS Bodies, which comprise NHS Trusts and Special Health Authorities; and Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs). iv Commentary There are four types of NDPBs. These denote different funding arrangements, functions and kinds of activity. They are: • Executive NDPBs – established in statute and carrying out administrative, regulatory and commercial functions, they employ their own staff and are allocated their own budgets. • Advisory NDPBs – provide independent and expert advice to ministers on particular topics of interest. They do not usually have staff but are supported by staff from their sponsoring department. They do not usually have their own budget, as costs incurred come within the department’s expenditure. • Tribunal NDPBs – have jurisdiction in a specialised field of law. They are usually supported by staff from their sponsoring department and do not have their own budgets. • Boards of Visitors – ‘watchdogs’ of the prison system. Their duty is to satisfy themselves as to the state of the prison premises, their administration and the treatment of prisoners. The sponsoring department meets the costs. Numbers of bodies There were 834 public bodies sponsored by UK Government departments as at 31 March 2002. This figure is made up of 3 Nationalised Industries, 11 Public Corporations, 23 NHS bodies and 797 NDPBs. The NDPB group is made up of 192 Executive NDPBs, 428 Advisory NDPBs, 36 Tribunal NDPBs (counted on the basis of tribunal systems rather than individual boards) and 141 Boards of Visitors. The Government continues to keep the need for each public body under review and new public bodies are only set up when it can be demonstrated that they provide the best means of delivering the function required. Appointments to public bodies Thousands of people from a wide range of backgrounds across the whole of the UK, with a variety of skills and experience, participate in public life through appointments to the public bodies listed in this book. You can find summary information about the 22,000 or so men and women serving on the boards of these public bodies on the following pages. Appointment on merit continues to be the overriding principle for selecting people for an appointment. Alongside this principle, the Government has been working hard to open up public appointments to all suitable people and improving the diversity of the boards that run public bodies. The aim is that public appointments should broadly represent the composition of the population generally. The overall UK Government target for 2005 is for an even balance of men and women on boards of public bodies; about 6–7% people from a minority ethnic background (to reflect the proportion of people from these communities in the economically active population as a whole); and to increase the number of appointments of people who identify themselves as having a disability from the 2001 figure of 1.5%. Each department has set itself its own target to achieve. v Commentary As at 31 March 2002, 34% of appointments made by UK Government departments were held by women; 6.2% by people from a minority ethnic background; and 3.3% by people who had identified themselves as having a disability. The Government is pleased to see that progress has been good against the minority ethnic community and disability targets, but is disappointed that the proportion of women holding public appointments has remained static this year. Departments will continue to work to improve this. Regulating the appointment process The post of Commissioner for Public Appointments was established in November 1995 and the current Commissioner is Dame Rennie Fritchie. The Commissioner’s role is to regulate, monitor and report on the way ministers make appointments to the boards of public bodies. The Commissioner’s jurisdiction currently covers ministerial appointments to public bodies in Great Britain. There is a separate post of Commissioner for Appointments in Northern Ireland (also currently held by Dame Rennie Fritchie). As already mentioned, there are proposals to set up separate arrangements for Scotland and Wales from 2003 and 2004 respectively. About half of all public appointments fall within the Commissioner’s remit. The Government however seeks to follow the Code of Practice

But that said, we are all a part of the same very fine Service and as Navy's current 'people' person, I am delighted to come to the party. Professionally, my early dealings with Naval Aviation were confined to the not so glamorous world of logistics where I was amazed by the staggering quantities of bits and pieces demanded by Air Engineers to keep those airframes flying and also gained an understanding of their commitment to air worthiness. The ROE [role of effort] has not diminished! Now, I have to man the aircraft and provide the technicians; not always an easy task but, as ever, there are many fine people in the Naval Personnel Division and the wider community to assist. In that role, the excellent contribution of the Fleet Air Arm Association in maintaining the esprit de corp is invaluable.

The 1947 legislation has served us well. It has undergirded our diplomatic efforts, provided the basis to establish our military capa- bilities, and focused our intelligence assets. But the world has changed dramatically in the last fifty years, and particularly in the last decade. Institutions designed in another age may or may not be appropriate for the future. It is the mandate of the United States Commission on National Security/21st Century to examine precise- ly that question. It has undertaken to do so in three phases: the first to describe the world emerging in the first quarter of the next century, the second to design a national security strategy appropri- ate to that world, and the third to propose necessary changes to the national security structure in order to implement that strategy effectively.

  • Exeter Excelling a Celebration of Success Message from the Rector Professor Sir Rick Trainor
    EXETER EXCELLING A CELEBRATION OF SUCCESS MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR PROFESSOR SIR RICK TRAINOR leap forwards in securing xeter’s future It is with great honour and pleasure that I can announce, with gratitude to the whole Exeter community, that we have exceeded our goal of raising £45 million over the last 10 years. The Exeter Excelling campaign was launched in 2006 and, over the period leading up to our 700th anniversary in 2014 – and a little beyond – we have received support on a scale that has never before been achieved by an Oxford college. With over 4,000 alumni making a gift in this period, and support also from parents, friends, Fellows, staff and even current students, we have leapt forwards in securing Exeter’s future as it enters its eighth century. Your support has created an entirely new quadrangle for this and future generations of Exonians – the biggest single expansion of the College since its earliest years. In addition you have secured tutorial teaching and made study at Oxford an affordable option for the brightest young minds in the UK and around the world. Thank you for what you’ve done as a member of this family: for your friendship, your support, your guidance, and most of all for your passion in seeing Exeter excel. In celebrating these achievements, I know you will join with me in giving substantial credit and heartfelt thanks to Rector Frances Cairncross whose vision and leadership brought this Campaign, and indeed Cohen Quad, into existence. I have very much inherited the success that her endeavours, for which we are all grateful, have brought about.
