answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p>Appointments and promotion in the Civil Service should be made on merit through fair and open competition. To ensure our civil service delivers the best for Britain we must draw on the widest possible pool of talent. We want to ensure that the best people - irrespective of who they are - rise to the top of the Civil Service but are concerned that for too long the very top ranks do not reflect those further down. We have commissioned independent research to look at the blockages women face making it to the very top and will use this to drive a new strategy for managing talent.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Mr Francis Maude question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham
