Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) men and (b) women have left her Department under exit schemes since 31 March 2016.

The Home Office had a total of 110 staff that left the Department under exit schemes since 31 March 2016 to date. This was split between 59 men, at a cost of £2.8M, and 51 women at a cost of £1.98M. All Exit payments are made on the basis of length of service and final salary, which means that there is a consistent approach to the way in which exit payments are calculated.
