Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people who are (a) contingent labour, (b) supplier resource and (c) civil servants working on the customs declaration services programme.
This question was answered on 5th April 2019
HMRC currently has working on the Customs Declaration Service Programme; a) 70 contingent labour contractors, b) 466 IT supplier resource and c) 176 civil servants. The number of contractors and IT suppliers working on the programme has varied over time. HMRC only employs contractors when there is a clearly identifiable skills gap that it cannot fill within the existing staff resources at its disposal.
