To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what progress she has made on expanding administrative operations for her Department in Scotland.
DFID has continued to increase the number of staff based in its office in East Kilbride, Scotland. The number of Home Civil Servants employees based in Abercrombie House has increased from 600 in January 2015 to 904 in January 2019, and we continuously look to maximise the use of space in this office.
