Lord Laird – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Laird on 2016-10-10.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many staff of the Department for International Development stationed in the UK are in receipt of support for private school fees; and what was the cost in 2015–16.

Lord Bates

DFID spend on education allowance for staff in the UK in 2015/16 was £133,892.21. The number of staff in receipt of education allowance in the UK is withheld as the number is so low that it has the potential to identify individuals.
