Answered by Justin Madders
As the start date of this request (6th April 2022) pre-dates the formation of DBT (7th February 2023), information in scope of this request would include data captured by DBT's predecessor, Department for International Trade (DIT).
The number of permanent civil servants who had their contract of employment terminated as a result of poor performance can be found in the table.
Financial Year | Total Number |
2022-2023 | <5 |
2023-2024 | <5 |
2024-2025 | <5 |
