Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Staff

Asked by Mr Peter BedfordConservativeDepartment for Science, Innovation and TechnologyTabled Answered 12 December 2024UIN 18054

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, 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 Feryal Clark

DSIT was established in February 2023 and we therefore do not hold date for the full period in question.

There has been less than 5 instances of settlement agreements being used since the department's creation. We are unable to share the precise number and value of agreements without individuals potentially being identifiable.
