I propose to take Questions Nos. 303 and 304 together.

The appointment of the Secretary General of my Department as a non-Executive Director at this sporting organisation is in a purely personal capacity and is being undertaken on a voluntary basis. He is continuing to serve in his role as Secretary General and the steps raised in these questions do not arise.
