HC Deb 23 February 1999 vol 326 cc260-1W
Mrs. Gillan

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will list the instances from 1 May 1997 to date where his Department has taken disciplinary actions against employees and the reasons for those actions. [71831]

Mr. Fatchett

Forty-four employees have been disciplined since 1 May 1997. Questions of staff discipline are matters of confidence between employer and employee. It would be wrong to breach confidence by giving further details.
