Annabelle Ewing

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what his Department"s policy is on employing secondees from the private sector; how many secondees from the(a) private and (b) public sectors his Department employed in each year since 1997; from which companies and organisations they were seconded; at what level they were employed; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Caplin

The interchange of personnel between the public and commercial sectors is an important feature of the Ministry of Defence"s long-standing programme to build stronger links with other sectors of the economy. This programme aims to enhance business performance by exchanging ideas, skills and experiences. Encouraging interchange activities is a key part of the Civil Service reform agenda.
