Mr. Cryer

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether civil servants in any Government Departments other than the Ministry of Defence and the Foreign Office are entitled to receive financial assistance with the cost of independent school fees.

Civil servants in any Government Department who are posted overseas for a tour of duty which is expected to last for more than 12 months may be paid a contribution towards the educational expenses of their children at independent schools.
