HC Deb 10 December 1996 vol 287 cc96-7W
Mr. Milburn

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many of the individuals appointed by his Department to public positions in the last year were first identified by the public appointments unit. [8549]

Mr. Streeter

No appointments have been made in the past year from names which had been first identified by the public appointments unit. The candidates for appointment to the Department's more significant public bodies have been identified following advertising, in line with the code of the commissioner for public appointments.
