Environment Food and Rural Affairs written question – answered at on 22 February 2010.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs how many employees in (a) his Department and (b) each of its agencies are in transition prior to being managed out; how long on average the transition window between notification and exit has been in (i) his Department and (ii) each of its agencies in each of the last five years; what estimate he has made of the salary costs of staff in transition in each such year; and what proportion of employees in transition were classed as being so for more than six months in each year.
The definition of 'in transition' we have used in answering this question is 'employees who have been officially declared surplus'.
As at
Not all the information requested is available as DEFRA has not maintained a historical central record of its surplus employees, but it is now.
