Volume 461: debated on Thursday 14 June 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how many staff funded by the public purse in (a) the Royal Parks, (b) Ofcom and (c) the British Library are classified as people without posts. (142201)

Both the Royal Parks Agency and Ofcom have no staff funded by the public purse classified as people without posts.

The British Library has five members of staff whose position may be deemed pertinent to the classification in question. These five employees have all been affected by recent restructuring in their area or the completion of projects on which they were engaged. Therefore, appropriate action is being implemented in each individual case to arrive at a satisfactory outcome, in terms of redeployment or a suitable settlement, to their current situations.
