My Department recruits on the basis of fair and open competition, with candidates being appointed on the basis of merit.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are a very small number of exceptions, which are recognised by the Civil Service Commission; in our Department\u2019s case, this is generally due to facilitate specific secondments from external organisations (for example, there were a series of fire secondments to provide support for the Olympics fire and security team), or to allow for appointments of individuals with specialised skillsets (for example, local audit) or for a time-limited project.<\/p>

<\/p>

The attached table gives a breakdown for each year since 2010-11, and to facilitate scrutiny, I have included 2009-10 to enable comparison with the use of exceptions under the last Administration.<\/p>

<\/p>

Figures for 2014-15 will be submitted in due course. Due to Data Protection obligations, it is not appropriate to disclose the identity of the individual staff concerned.<\/p>

<\/p>
