If G is a finite permutation group of degree d and N is a normal subgroup of G, Derek Holt has given conditions which show that in some important special cases the least degree of a faithful permutation representation of the quotient G/N will be no larger than d. His conditions do not apply in all cases of interest and he remarks that it would be interesting to know if G/F(G) has a faithful representation of degree no larger than d (where F(G) is the Fitting subgroup of G). We prove in this note that this is the case.
