HC Deb 20 May 2003 vol 405 c672W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of regional variations in staff turnover in his Department. [112745]

Dr. Moonie

There has been no recent assessment specifically of regional variations in civilian staff turnover in the Ministry of Defence. Total civilian staff turnover is regularly assessed at corporate level, along with turnover for corporately-managed groups of staff (including senior managers and corporate development schemes). Responsibility for management of most civilian staff has been delegated to Top Level Budget Holders and Agency Chief Executives, who make their own assessments of local turnover levels as they judge necessary.
