Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many permanent civil servants in her Department had their contract of employment terminated as a result of poor performance in the (a) 2022-23, (b) 2023-24 and (c) 2024-25 financial years.

In 2024-25, 24 Home Office employees were dismissed for poor performance.

Prior to April 2024 dismissals for poor performance were included for data collection purposes in a broader category of efficiency dismissals, so figures for poor performance dismissals are not available prior to that date.
