§ Dr. IddonTo ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many people from science and technology backgrounds have been seconded into the Civil Service in her Department in each of the last five years for which data are available. [138625]
§ Estelle MorrisThis Department does not maintain a central record of the background of secondees: secondees remain employees of their seconding organisation, which holds records on their previous employment or educational background. This information could therefore only be provided at a disproportionate cost.
