HC Deb 11 March 2002 vol 381 c791W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will make a statement on the extent of job sharing in her Department. [41048]

Mr. Morley

It is departmental policy, as an equal opportunity employer, to meet requests for all types of flexible working, including part-time working and job sharing, wherever the nature of the work allows.

There are currently 83 people employed in DEFRA on a job share contract.
