§ Mr. RedmondTo ask the Minister for the Civil Service how many Crown servants have left to take up outside appointments, by year from 1979; from what Government Departments; and what grades were involved.
§ Mr. LuceThis information is not held centrally. However, I refer the hon. Member to the statistical report prepared by the Cabinet Office (Office of the Minister for the Civil Service) entitled "Acceptance of Outside Appointments by Crown servants — 1987", copies of which I placed in the Library of the House on 10 March 1988. This contains most of the information requested covering particularly the years 1980 to 1987 inclusive.
