John McDonnell – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the House of Commons Commission

The below Parliamentary question was asked by John McDonnell on 2014-03-31.

To ask the hon. Member for Caithness, Sutherland and Easter Ross representing the House of Commons Commission, what the police staff turnover rates have been at SO17 Palace of Westminster over the last 10 years.

John Thurso

The turnover for police staff (security officers) at SO17 Palace of Westminster since the start of the current contract in April 2010 is as follows:

April 2010 to March 2011: 5.1%
April 2011 to March 2012: 3.2%
April 2012 to March 2013: 7.6%
April 2013 to March 2014: 7.6%

These figures are provided by SO17 and were calculated by dividing the number of leavers every year by the total number of staff. I understand that data for previous years could only be derived from manual records and are not readily available.
