A number of civil servants of my Department sit on the Boards of some of the Non-Commercial State Sponsored Bodies established under the aegis of my Department. No fee, salary or remuneration is payable in respect of their Board membership. If travel and subsistence expenses are incurred by a civil servant in undertaking Board duties, these expenses are normally payable by the Board in question.
