Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many veterans have been employed by the Civil Service in his Department in each year since 2010.
During the early adopter phase, Cabinet Office received 255 applications from veterans through the Great Place to Work for Veterans initiative. Of the applications, 48 were offered an interview, with 10 subsequent job offers. These numbers suggest the initiative has been successful in providing greater opportunities to veterans to pursue a career in the Civil Service.
The number of veterans employed in the Cabinet Office since 2010 is not held.
