§ Mr. Bishopasked the Minister for the Civil Service what is the practice of his Department in administrative matters, regarding the definition of the term "Head of the Household" or an equivalent term; and what benefits or allowances are available when the requirements of that status are met.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerThe term "Head of the Household" is not used in connetion with the administration of the Civil Service. For the purpose of allowances paid on permanent transfer it is necessary to define householder status by reference to the accommodation which is occupied because it is more expensive for a householder to move home.
