Cabinet Office: Secondment
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many of his Department's officials have been seconded from (a) the Institute for Economic Affairs, (b) the Policy Exchange, (c) the Adam Smith Institute and (d) Labour Together since July 2024.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Secondments are part of a range of ways of bringing talent and experience into the civil service for short periods of time and have been used by successive governments. Secondments are arranged at a business unit level and must follow the processes as set out in the Civil Service Recruitment Principles. However, based on the information held centrally, there is no record of any secondees from the above mentioned organisations.
