HC Deb 14 April 1993 vol 222 cc532-3W
Mr. Pope

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what steps he has taken to promote the use of the records of achievement of school leavers in the recruitment policies(a) in his Department and (b) in other Government Departments.

Mr. Robert Jackson

The Cabinet Office in London, which includes the Office of Public Service and Science, is one of the employers involved in the Central London Education Business Partnership. Students of schools involved in the partnership are able to submit their London records of achievement when applying for jobs. The LRA, together with other information, is taken into account in the selection process.

My right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer is responsible for recruitment policy, including educational qualifications, in other Government Departments.
