Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many members of staff have left his Department since 1 January 2015; and how many of those members of staff were nationals of non-UK EU countries.

The following table shows the number of staff that have left the department since 1 January 2015. These figures include all leavers from the department, including (but not limited to) individuals whose contracts have ended, machinery of government transfers, dismissals, retirements, transfers to OGDs, voluntary and compulsory exits. They include leavers from the following business groups: MOJ HQ, HMPPS, HMCTS, LAA, OPG and CICA.

All MOJ Leavers 01.01.2015 to 30.09.2017

We are unable to calculate how many of these members of staff were nationals of non-UK EU countries as we do not hold data on employee’s nationality, and have no business requirement to do so.
