HL Deb 23 February 1988 vol 493 c1193WA
Baroness David

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What are the total numbers of administrative grade civil servants in the Department of Education and Science in the ranks of (i) Principal, (ii) Assistant Secretary, and (iii) Under Secretary, who have had (a) any teaching experience in schools, further education colleges, polytechnics or universities, or (b) any administrative experience in local government or higher education.

Baroness Hooper

The information requested could only be provided at disproportionate cost. In formulating their education policies the Government draw on a wide range of advice, including in particular from HMI, who have a wealth of teaching and administrative experience in all sectors of education.
