HC Deb 15 April 2003 vol 404 cc64-5W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many staff in his Department have taken time off from work in order to attend to domestic incidents as provided for by the Employment Relations Act 1999. [108356]

Mr. Blunkett

Since 1990, responsibility for authorising and monitoring special leave granted for domestic reasons has been devolved to individual Heads of Units. Information is not collected centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
