HC Deb 17 December 1975 vol 902 c647W
Mr. John Garrett

asked the Minister for the Civil Service what proportion of the membership of Final Selection Boards for Administration Trainees and mature principals held in 1975 have had working experience of industrial management.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

All Final Selection Boards for Administration Trainees and Principals include a nonacademic member from outside the Civil Service. At 72 per cent. of these boards in 1975 this member had had working experience on either the trade union or the management side of industry or commerce. Information is not available about the number of boards where any of the other members—the chairman, an academic outside member and two civil servants—had also had such experience.
