Executive Officers

HC Deb 22 January 1982 vol 16 c224W

Mr. Wigley

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many executive officers he estimates will be recruited into the Civil Service during 1982.

Mr. Hayhoe

Approximately 2, 000—some of whom will be serving clerical officers, or equivalent, entitled to compete for promotion in the open scheme of recruitment.

Mr. Wigley

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many executive officers were recruited in 1981 to the Civil Service from employment outside the Civil Service; and how many of these cases involved the reinstatement of former civil servants.

Mr. Hayhoe

The information requested is being obtained and my right hon. and noble Friend the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster will write to the hon. Member as soon as possible.
