HC Deb 03 March 1986 vol 93 cc27-8W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is (a) the total figure for United Kingdom

for Glasgow, Cathcart on Monday 17 February, Official Report, column 6, whether the post of staff inspector was advertised among staff at present employed in the House of Commons before being advertised elsewhere; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Beith

Among the requirements of candidates for the post of staff inspector is experience of staff inspection and comparable investigatory work, including a knowledge of Civil Service job classification and grading. For this reason, exceptionally, it was not considered appropriate for this vacancy to be advertised among staff employed in the House of Commons.
