HC Deb 30 November 1962 vol 668 cc102-3W
Mr. Mason

asked the Minister of Education (1) if he will publish a list of the administrative, executive and technical officers of his Department with salaries of more than £2,000 per annum who on resigining or retiring over the past ten years have taken up posts with industrial firms, signifying which of these have done so within two years of leaving the Civil Service, in cases requiring the approval of his Department;

(2) if he will publish a list of the administrative, executive and technical officers of his Department with salaries of more than £2,000 per annum who on resigining or retiring over the past 10 years have taken up posts with industrial firms, stating the firms which they joined within two years of leaving the Civil Service, in cases requiring the approval of his Department.

Sir E. Boyle

The attention of senior officers is called before retirement or resignation to the rules about the acceptance of business appointments in order that the Minister may consider whether approval can be given. The Department's records are not complete for the past 10 years, but no case requiring the approval of the Department can be found of an officer with a salary of more than £2,000 per annum who within two years of resigining or retiring has taken up a post with an industrial firm.
