I propose to take Questions Nos. 252 and 253 together.
Unless an individual is legally restricted from serving as a director, their suitability or otherwise to serve as a director or chairman of a State company under my Department would generally have to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis, having regard to the relevant statutory provisions.
