periods and (ii) tasks the secondments were made; whether secondments of staff from his Department have been made to those firms;

Fiona Mactaggart: Secondments are part of the Interchange initiative, which promotes the exchange of people and good practice
between the Civil Service and other organisations--public, private and voluntary. Interchange provides opportunities for civil
servants to learn new skills, widen their experience and develop ideas. It also brings in skills and experiences from other sectors.
Secondments of less than three months duration are not recorded. Since 2001, there have been secondments for periods of over three
months to the organisations in question as follows: PricewaterhouseCoopers: none. Deloitte & Touche: one inward secondment for the
period September 2003-March 2004. The secondee is managing delivery risks on the Identity Cards Programme. Ernst & Young: There have
been two inward secondments: 1. June 2003-June 2004: the secondee is working as senior analyst on criminal injuries compensation
policy. 2. September 2003-September 2004: the secondee is working on public perceptions of policing policy. KPMG: one outward
secondment for the period November 2002-April 2004. The member of Home Office staff is working on occupational psychology in the
