§ Mr. MilburnTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department 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.
Mr. John M. TaylorThe information requested in respect of staff of grade 3 and above could not be collected in the time available.

No offers have been reported from staff who work in sections concerned with procurement or contracts.
