§ Mr. ByersTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many staff in his Department have reported an offer of employment from an outside employer since February 1993 as required under the civil service management code; and how many of these reports were followed by an application to join the company concerned.
§ Mr. HowardThe information is not available in precisely the form requested. Details of the number of offers received by staff below grade 3 are not recorded centrally. Staff in these grades are required only to report any offers—and, in the case of procurement and contracts staff, any approaches—received from prospective employers to a senior member of staff at least two grades higher.
