Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Campbell-Savours (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 16 January 2008.
Civil Service Bill
- Question
- My Lords, should not the Bill—or any Bill coming in—include a provision that places a requirement on all people seeking appointment to the Civil Service to provide a reference from their former employer, prior to their being appointed?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I suspect my noble friend is alluding to something about which I know absolutely nothing. The usual procedure when seeking an employee is to seek references. I have no idea whether the Civil Service has a different procedure, nor indeed should I as a Minister, but I have no doubt that the procedures followed by the Civil Service are exemplary.
