Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, which persons not employed by the Law Officers' Departments hold security passes entitling them to enter the Law Officers' Departments premises.

Civil servants have to have the ability to work flexibly across government sites where there is a business need to do so. The issuing of all passes is controlled by the local Departmental Security teams. Passes can also be issued to contractors or secondees based within Government premises on a case by case basis in regards to specific business needs. Numbers of passes issued directly to non-civil servants for access to departmental buildings will fluctuate over the course of a year.
