HC Deb 07 August 1972 vol 842 c297W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many civil servants who retired in the last 10 years obtained permission to take posts with firms in contractual relations with publicly financed bodies; and if he will publish their names.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

Permission is required by civil servants only when the firms have been in contractual or other special relationship with the Government; and most of such cases are dealt with entirely by the Department concerned so no central records are available.
