To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what were the appraisal performance markings awarded to civil servants in 1998 for (a) each agency in his Department and (b) the Department broken down by (i) grade, (ii) gender, (iii) ethnicity, (iv) part-time/ full-time working and (v) disability; and for (1) each agency and (2) the Department whether the Cabinet Office's four fifths rule for detecting potential adverse impact was applied to the appraisal markings of civil servants in the 1998 report round. [78143]
HM Treasury's appraisal year runs from 1 February to 31 January. The performance markings awarded in 1998 therefore apply to the 1997–98 appraisal year.
