The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many staff her Department has seconded from Hakluyt since July 2024.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

DCMS has zero such secondments. Secondments are one way of bringing talent and experience into the civil service for short periods of time, and have been used by successive governments.
