The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many employee settlement agreements there were in his Department in each year since 2020; and what the total value of such agreements is.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The number of settlement agreements issued by the department in the last five years are listed below:

2020 - 0

2021 - 0

2022 - 0

2023 - 0

2024 - fewer than 5

Due to the low number of settlement agreements issued by the department we cannot disclose the total value to ensure individuals are not identifiable.
