HC Deb 17 July 2002 vol 389 cc288-9W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Solicitor-General what the average annual leave entitlement is for staff in her Department in 2002. [64660]

The Solicitor-General

[holding answer 1 July 2002]The Cabinet. Office has set the leave entitlement for all staff in the senior civil service at 30 days.

Leave entitlement for staff below the SCS is determined by grade and length of qualifying service and, in the Departments for which the Attorney-General is responsible, varies from 22 days to 31 days per annum.

Average leave entitlement could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
