Asked by: Rob Marris (Labour - Wolverhampton South West)
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of staff employed by her Department are employed on a contract which is (a) full-time permanent, (b) part-time permanent, (c) for less than two years' duration, (d) on an agency basis and (e) zero-hours.
Answered by Caroline Dinenage
The table below shows data on how many and what proportion of staff are employed by the Department for Education (DfE), on a contract which is full-time permanent and part-time permanent. The permanent headcount figures include staff who are on fixed-term contracts and have been employed for over 1 year but under 2 years. The fixed term/temporary figure shows staff on fixed-term contracts who have been employed for less than 1 year.
The total figure for (c) is therefore 212.
Agency workers are not employees of DfE and have therefore not been included. DfE does not employ any staff on zero hours contracts.
