HC Deb 21 May 1996 vol 278 cc110-1W
Mr. Sutcliffe

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many(a) serving civil servants and (b) retired civil servants have been appointed to the boards of privatised utilities. [30254]

Mr. Freeman

There are currently no serving civil servants who are non-executive directors of any privatised utilities on the list of non-executive directors supplied to the Office of Public Service by Departments. Comprehensive information of this kind on retired civil servants is not held centrally and could be collected only at disproportionate cost.
