Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs written question – answered at on 9 January 2013.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many posts have been declared redundant by each of his Department's executive agencies and non-departmental public bodies in each year since 1999; and what the cost of those redundancies has been.
Since 1999, no staff have been made compulsorily redundant in the following executive agencies and arm’s length bodies (ALBs) of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office:
The British Council has made 56 staff compulsorily redundant since 1999. The cost of redundancy payments made in 2010-11 and 2011-12 was £563,014 and £28,633 respectively. No costs are available prior to this date as the information was not recorded centrally. To collate the information now, from individual records, would incur disproportionate cost.
The Westminster Foundation for Democracy has made three staff compulsorily redundant since 1999: two staff in 2007-08 and the Chief Executive Officer in 2009. The total cost of redundancy payments was £215,761.
