Dan Jarvis – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Dan Jarvis on 2016-10-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what the staffing costs are of the secondees to his Department from elsewhere in the Civil Service.

Mr Robin Walker

The term ‘secondment’ to refer to an interchange of staff between the Civil Service and an external organisation as such we have not brought any secondees into the Department from elsewhere in the Civil Service. All joiners from other Government departments have been on a loan basis, which refers to an interchange of staff between Civil Service departments or Agencies. The Department’s budget will be set out to the House of Commons and approved as part of the Supplementary Estimates in the new year, as is standard practice.
