Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many UK civil servants are on secondment to foreign governments.
Departments are responsible for their own secondment activity, both inward and outward, in order to meet their business and staff development needs.
Responsibility for on-going secondments transferred back to departments in May 2017. We therefore no longer track secondments centrally and are unable to provide any information about UK civil servants who may currently be on secondment to any international governments.
