Dept for Culture Media and Sport

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many members of her staff in each of the past two years have been granted a day's paid leave to work as a volunteer; and if she will make a statement.

Answer: Bob Russell: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many members of her staff in each of the past two years have been granted a day's paid leave to work as a volunteer; and if she will make a statement. [39747] Dr. Howells: My Department does not have a central record of the number of staff who have been granted a day's paid leave to work as a volunteer over the past two years. The Department supports voluntary public service and encourages its staff and managers to take advantage of the extra day's paid annual leave, and other special leave arrangements, which are in place for those who wish to undertake such work.
