Home Office: Staff

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will publish the number of staff working in her Department, broken down by nationality.

Answered by Sarah Jones

Nationality can be taken upon recruitment and on occasion where it is required for internal procedures.

However, these are not in a retrievable format and can only be obtained via disproportionate effort. In any case, due to the low numbers held by the Home Office, this would not be a true representation of the nationalities employed.
