Louise Haigh – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for International Development

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Louise Haigh on 2015-12-01.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how many civil servants in her Department are in the redeployment pool.

Mr Desmond Swayne

DFID has 10 staff at present in its redeployment pool of staff who have become surplus due to the role they were filling either having been discontinued, or it having been confirmed to them that their role will be discontinued.

For those whose roles have already been discontinued (5 staff), temporary work has been found whilst we continue to look for more appropriate longer term positions for them.
