HC Deb 13 April 1973 vol 854 c374W
Mr. Bruce-Gardyne

asked the Minister of State for Defence how many civil servants from his Department have applied for permission to take up employment in firms with which the Government have a relationship or where the prospective employers might obtain an unfair advantage from knowledge obtained during their service, over the past 10 years; and on how many occasions such approval has been withheld.

Mr. Ian Gilmour

In the time available we have not been able to establish exact figures, but the total number of applications received has been some 400, of which 15 have been rejected.
