HC Deb 01 July 1975 vol 894 c371W
Mr. Edelman

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what was the percentage change in the number of offices of profit outside the appointments system of the Civil Service Commission within his gift between 1st January 1963 and 1st January 1975, and in their total value.

Mr. Hattersley

As my right hon. Friend the Minister of State said in reply to my hon. Friend on 20th March 1975—[Vol. 888, c. 513–4]—there are only four such appointments in the FCO and overseas, with a total gross value of £46,700. Comparable information for 1963 is not readily available.
