Keith Vaz – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Keith Vaz on 2014-04-30.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people were employed by the UK Visa and Immigration Directorate on 1 April 2014.

James Brokenshire

The number of people (paid and unpaid civil servants as well as agency and
contractors substituting as civil servants) employed by UK Visas and
Immigration on 31st March 2014 was 7,107 (6,598.67 Full Time Equivalent).

In line with Office for National statistics guidelines, all government
departments are required to report their official statistics relating to
numbers of employees using calendar month end dates. This answer has therefore
been provided using information as at 31st March 2014 rather than 1st April
2014.
