The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 9 September 2024 to Question 4258 on Treasury: public appointments, if she will provide this data by the recruitment principles exception used by each grade.

Answered by James Murray

Since 30 May 2024, the following appointments by exception have been made:

Exception 1 (Temporary Appointments) – 22 appointments. The grades of these appointments are Student, Senior Executive Officer, Grade 7, and SCS2.

Exception 3 (Secondments) – 8 appointments. The grades of these appointments are Higher Executive Officer, Senior Executive Officer, Grade 7 and SCS1.

Exception 10 (Conversion to permanency for those appointed under Exception 1 or 2) – Fewer than 5 appointments.

Where the number of individuals covered is fewer than 5, we consider that to provide an exact figure would constitute the disclosure of personal data.

The ‘Student’ grade is used for staff appointed to short term roles via cross Civil Service internship schemes.
