Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many agency staff have been employed in the Government Property Unit; and how many secondments there have been to that unit from (a) inside and (b) outside government in each year since 2010.
Information about agency staff employed in the Government Property Unit (GPU) since 2010 is not held centrally and would incur disproportionate costs to determine. I can however confirm that two agency staff are currently employed in the GPU.
Our records show that (a) one employee has been seconded into the GPU from outside Government and (b) four employees have served periods of secondment to organisations outside Government, since 2010.
