To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will list those companies which have civil servants from his Department as directors and all the occasions on which those companies have been found guilty of a civil or criminal offence in the last eight years. [33915]

Sir Paul Beresford

Four serving civil servants in my Department currently hold non-executive company directorships:

  • Dr. Alan Apling: H. R. Wallingford Group (ex officio)
  • Mr. Roger Courtney: Woods of Colchester
  • Mr. William Rickett: Redland Roof Tiles

The Department has no record of whether or not any of these companies have been found guilty of either civil or criminal offences in the last eight years.
