Scotland Office: Secondment
(asked on 13th April 2017) - View Source
Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many staff are seconded to his Department; and how many such staff are seconded from which companies and organisations.
This question was answered on 20th April 2017
The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly. Staff that join do so on assignment or loan/secondment from other government bodies, principally the Ministry of Justice and the Scottish Government.
The office can on occasions employ staff on secondment from non-civil service organisations. As the number of non-civil service secondments is less than 5, detailed information is not provided for privacy reasons.
