HC Deb 14 June 1994 vol 244 c423W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the President of the Board of Trade how many job offers were reported by staff in his Department under the requirements of the rules on the acceptance of outside appointments in each of the last 10 years by(a) staff of grade 3 and above, (b) staff below grade 3, (c) staff in sections concerned with procurement or contract work, under section 15 of the rules of 1 February 1993 and (d) staff in other sections, under section 14; and how many of these reports were followed by an application to join the company concerned.

Mr. Eggar

The Department requires staff to report job offers. However, there is no central record kept of such offers. Such information could be obtained, therefore, only at disproportionate cost.

Any firm job offer an individual wishes to take up is subject to the business appointment rules procedure.
