Lord Mendelsohn – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Mendelsohn on 2014-03-06.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many staff are currently employed for more than 50 per cent of their working week to support the Permanent Secretary of the Department for Education in his role as Accounting Officer; and what are their job titles.

Lord Nash

A large proportion of the staff who work in the Department for Education support the Permanent Secretary in his role as Accounting Officer.

The information requested about those who do so for more than 50% of their working week is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
