HC Deb 02 May 1986 vol 96 c507W
Mr. John Morris

asked the Attorney-General what is his policy as regards requests by officers in the Director of Public Prosecution's Department to seek level transfer to other Civil Service Departments.

The Attorney-General

Although I have statutory responsibility for the superintendence of the director, day-to-day management of his Department is a matter for him as its permanent head. I understand that any requests for transfer are considered on their merits. While the director naturally endeavours to meet the wishes of individual members of staff, agreement to any transfers must depend on whether the Director of Public Prosecutions Department is able to spare the skills of the staff concerned at that time.
