Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what secondments (a) PricewaterhouseCoopers, (b) Deloitte & Touche, (c) Ernst & Young and (d) KPMG has made to the Department, including predecessor Departments, since 2010; for which (i) periods and (ii) tasks the secondments were made; whether secondments of staff from the Department have been made to those firms; and for which (A) periods and (B) tasks.

To retrieve historical information on secondments would require a manual search of local records as only current secondments are held centrally by the Home Office.

Therefore, this information can only be obtained by disproportionate effort.
