HC Deb 07 February 1968 vol 758 c150W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Minister of Transport how many members of the senior branch of the Civil Service currently employed in her Department hold first-class university honours degrees and no honours degree of any kind, respectively.

Mr. Carmichael:

I understand that the hon. Member's concern is with the higher ranks of the Administrative Class of the Civil Service. For Assistant Secretaries and above, the figures for the Department are 13 and 16 respectively. There are, of course, members of other Civil Service Classes holding senior positions in the Department with academic or professional qualifications of various kinds and levels.
