(1) Numbers include all staff on BIS (including UKTI) payroll and contingent workers at 31 January 2013. (2) Staff out of Department but still on BIS payroll.

BIS does not pay costs for the occupancy of Cannon House, Castle View House, Larkhill, Mowden Hall or Stanley Barracks. There are additional staff in Queensway House working on BIS corporate services under a shared service agreement who are not included in the numbers above.

BIS is on course to save £84 million by reducing the number of buildings leased by the Department and its partner organisations. We constantly look at our property portfolio to ensure that all buildings are representing value for money.
