Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many civil servants in his Department have been seconded to (a) the Department for Exiting the European Union and (b) the Department for International Trade in each of the last three years.

Please see the table below for the current numbers of civil servants that have temporarily moved out of the department to take up posts at DIT or DExEU in each of the last 3 years. The information provided is a list of current/active transfers that commenced in each of the three years. It is not possible to provide total numbers across the time period as the data on those that transferred out of the department but have since returned is not available.
