Question to the Scotland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what human resources information their Department shares with trade unions on a regular basis.

The Scotland Office does not employ any staff directly; all staff that join do so on an assignment, loan or secondment from other government bodies, principally the Ministry of Justice and the Scottish Government.

There is a range of HR information which is published on GOV.UK and is therefore publicly available. In addition, the employing departments share routine human resources information with their recognised trade unions as part of their normal engagement.
