In the case of the Legal Aid Board, the final 32.05% of staff were recruited by the Civil Service Commission.
The information requested by the Deputy in relation to the percentage of staff who transferred on promotion in their current grade in respect of staff who decentralised in both the Department's Finance division and in the Land Registry is not readily available and would take an inordinate amount of time to compile. I refer the Deputy to the information contained in my answers to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 533 of 16 December 2003, 466 to 468 of 24 February 2004 and 358 to 360 of 29 June 2004.
