§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Attorney-General how many job offers were reported by staff in his Department under the requirements of the rules on the acceptance of outside appointments in each of the last 10 years by(a) staff of grade 3 and above, (b) staff below grade 3, (c) staff in sections concerned with procurement or contract work, under section 15 of the rules of 1 February 1993 and (d) staff in other sections, under section 14; and how many of these reports were followed by an application to join the company concerned.
§ The Attorney-GeneralSince the Crown Prosecution Service was formed in 1986, there have been two instances of job offers reported by staff under section 14 of the rules. One came from a former member of staff at grade 3–1990—and the other from a member of staff at grade 5–1992. In each instance, the member of staff applied to join the organisation concerned. Since the Serious Fraud Office was formed in 1988, one approach on behalf of an outside employer has been reported under section 14 by a member of staff at grade 6–1993. This did not result in an application to join the organisation concerned. In none of these three instances did section 15 of the rules apply. There have been no reports in the Treasury Solicitor's Department and the legal secretariat to the Law Officers.
