HC Deb 20 March 1979 vol 964 c516W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Minister for the Civil Service if he will make a statement on the retirement of the former head of the Central Office of Information and his appointment in private industry.

Mr. Charles R. Morris

The former Director-General of the Central Office of Information resigned from the Service. As required by the rules governing civil servants' acceptance of outside business appointments after resignation or retirement, he obtained the Government's assent before accepting an offer of appointment in private industry.
