HC Deb 10 February 1969 vol 777 cc861-2
8. Mr. Sheldon

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what action has been taken to integrate as closely as possible recruitment, training and career development within the Civil Service.

Mrs. Hart

The main action taken, as the Fulton Report recommended, has been to integrate the Civil Service Commission with the new Civil Service Department set up on 1st November, 1968.

Mr. Sheldon

My right hon. Friend will be aware that questions of recruitment, training and promotion are interdependent? Will she try to ensure that in practice there is this inter-dependence at the earliest possible time?

Mrs. Hart

I am sure that, as my hon. Friend says, this is part of the centre of the problem. I assure my hon. Friend that we are taking full account of that.
