§ Mr. McAllionTo ask the Minister for the Civil Service if he will list all agency chief executives, and their grade stating whether they were appointed through open competition and whether they were serving civil servants or direct entrants.
§ Mr. RentonThe table provides the information requested in respect of the 50 existing "next steps" agency chief executives at 10 May 1991. The Government's objective is to secure the right person for each of these important jobs, and open competition is now the presumption in doing so. With the exception of the defence support agencies, chief executives are directly accountable to the appropriate Minister; and many chief executives have pay arrangements tailored to their particular employment.
