Mr. Hayes:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills which (a) senior personnel and (b) special advisers have left his Department to work in (i) education-related businesses and (ii) lobbying since 1997; and what steps are taken to ensure the relevant period between periods of employment under Cabinet Office guidance is adhered to. [121399]

The rules are drawn to the attention of staff and all staff leaving the Department are subject to them. A list of all Business Appointment applications considered by Advisory Committee is published in the Committee's annual report, copies of which can be obtained from the Library.
The further information requested could be obtained only at disproportionate cost, and would reveal individual identities.
