Question: To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how vacancies are publicised within his Department; how non-fast streamers are recruited to work in his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Answer: Matthew Taylor: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how vacancies are publicised within his Department; how non-fast streamers are recruited to work in his Department; and if he will make a statement. [187088] Ruth Kelly: HM Treasury publicises its internal vacancies on the Treasury's intranet site, and the Civil Service Recruitment Gateway. For external recruitment of non-fast streamers, HM Treasury uses a wide variety of different publications for advertising, tailored according to the nature of the vacancy to be filled. This includes the use of professional journals and magazines, national and local newspapers, and other relevant websites, including HM Treasury's website (www.hm- treasury.gov.uk/careers). Recruitment in HM Treasury is based upon the Civil Service Commissioners Recruitment Code of fair and open competition, and selection on merit.
