I am advised that one member of staff of my Department serves as director of a company arising from his employment. The official in question is a director of the NPLD (Network to Promote Linguistic Diversity), which is a company limited by guarantee. NPLD is a pan-European network which encompasses constitutional, regional and smaller-state languages to promote linguistic diversity in the context of a multilingual Europe (www.npld.eu). He receives no remuneration from this appointment and is indemnified by my Department in respect of this role.
