HC Deb 26 February 2002 vol 380 c1217W
Mr. Dodds

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what percentage of people promoted in Her Majesty's Customs and Excise in Northern Ireland in each of the past five years had served at their previous grade for more than one year.[37757]

Mr. Boateng

In the calendar year 2001, 81.6 per cent. of people promoted in HM Customs and Excise in Northern Ireland had been in their previous job band (grade) for more than one year.

This percentage is based on people still in the Department, and excludes people who may have been promoted again in 2002. Earlier figures are unavailable because the datafields on the system do not lend themselves to historical interrogation of this type.
