To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many staff left his Department in each year since 2015.

Answered by Mark Spencer - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

We centrally hold some of the information requested.

The Declaration on Government Reform (2021) stated: "There is however more we must do to attract a broader range of people to the privilege of public service... It should be natural for people with careers and skills built in business to serve in government for a period, and for those in public service to spend time in organisations which are not dependent on public money... We will develop new entry routes from industry, academia, the third sector and the wider public sector, with flexibility to suit those who want to build a career in government and those who want a shorter tour of duty."
