In the period July 2016 to November 2017, a total of 195 UK based employees have left the Department for International Trade (DIT).

Since January 2015, there have been 144 leavers from UK Export Finance (UKEF).

The reasons for members of staff leaving include, amongst others, retiring, transferring departments, resignation and end of contract.

Neither DIT nor UKEF holds data on the nationalities of these staff.

Evidence of nationality is checked at the point of recruitment into the Civil Service as part of wider pre-employment checks, but there is no requirement on departments to retain this information beyond the point at which it has served its purpose.
