Home Office: Termination of Employment

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainHome OfficeTabled Answered 13 March 2025UIN 35894

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether any staff in her Department have had their employment terminated due to a failure to declare a conflict of interest when overseeing the granting of contracts in the last ten years.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Current Home Office ministers are not aware of any such cases, but to go back over the department’s disciplinary process for the last decade to see if any such situation has featured in a termination case could only be done for the purposes of answering this question at disproportionate cost.
