Steve McCabe – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Steve McCabe on 2016-10-07.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of the staff employed by his Department are non-UK nationals.
Mr John Hayes
Many staff self-declare their nationality on the staff system. Evidence of nationality is checked at the point of recruitment into the Civil Service as part of wider pre-employment checks and copies of this evidence are held on file for the duration of the person’s employment and for a further two years after they cease working for the department.
