Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many applications his Department has received for (a) internal loans and (b) secondments from civil servants in each year since 2010.
The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly. Those that join do so on an assignment, loan or secondment from other Government bodies, principally the Ministry of Justice and the Scottish Government, who remain the employers. No information is held on the number of applications received for internal loans or secondments from Civil Servants since 2010.
