Civil Servants (Appraisal) Mr. McDonnell To ask the Secretary of State for Wales 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.

Comprehensive information is set out for performance markings by gender but it is not possible to provide the same detail for disability or part-time/full-time because of the small numbers of staff involved. No data on ethnicity can be provided as such data could breach confidentiality as the information would allow the identification of individuals. The top two bands in the Welsh Office and top three in CADW Agency, have been merged because of the small number of officials involved so as to allow for anonymity. We have not applied the Cabinet Office's four-fifths rule in either the Department or the agency because the figures for gender suggest that there is no adverse impact and the numbers involved in the other categories are too small to allow a meaningful assessment. -------- |Female| -------- |Male | -------- |Total | -------- |Female| -------- |Male | -------- |Total | -------- Notes: The tables exclude casual staff
