Civil Servants: Dismissal

Asked by Mr Peter BedfordConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 3 June 2025UIN 54584

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many permanent civil servants had contracts of employment terminated for poor performance in (a) 2022-23, (b) 2023-24 and (c) 2024-25.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Departments have delegated responsibility for managing poor performance. Information on how many civil servants in departments have had their contracts of employment terminated for poor performance is therefore not available centrally.
