HC Deb 26 April 1988 vol 132 c96W
Mr. Livingstone

To ask the Prime Minister what is the practice of the Civil Service Commission towards the advertising of security-sensitive posts.

The Prime Minister

Recruitment schemes for which the Civil Service Commissioners are responsible have to be sufficiently publicised to the satisfaction of the commissioners. Normal practice is for these schemes to be advertised in the national press or appropriate professional publications. The information sent to applicants indicates whether security requirements apply to a particular scheme.
