HC Deb 02 March 1973 vol 851 cc450-1W
Dr. Marshall

asked the Minister for the Civil Service how many established members of the administrative class of the Civil Service were dismissed on grounds other than ill-health during the year prior to the Fulton reorganisation of that class; what was the corresponding figure for the scientific officer class; and what are the figures for the comparable grades for the latest available 12 months.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

In 1969 one member of the administrative class was prematurely retired on grounds of redundancy. In 1972 four members of grades that had formed part of the former administrative class were retired on grounds of redundancy and four on grounds of limited efficiency.

No members of the scientific officer class were discharged during either year.

Dr. Marshall

Mr. Kenneth Baker

In 1972 three principals were retired on grounds of limited efficiency.
