Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the rate of turnover of staff has been within his Department's Defence, Diplomacy and International Spending Team over the last five financial years.

The average turnover of staff over the last 5 financial years within the Defence, Diplomacy and International Spending team was 28.8%. As has been the case with successive administrations, the Treasury workforce model benefits from a significant number of secondments into and out of the department to ensure we utilise and learn from those with skills gained elsewhere. Half of all leavers in the Defence, Diplomacy and International Spending team over the last 5 Financial years were end of secondments.
