For each of the members of SMG/PAG and the various heads of Service please indicate
how many have either graduated from, or worked in some previous capacity at, the
University of Glasgow prior to taking up their current post?

or have the word 'Director' in their official job title.
I would like to know who are graduates of the University of Glasgow, who have been
promoted to their post internally and who have been recruited externally.
