Department for Business and Trade: Disciplinary Proceedings
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many officials were investigated under his Department's disciplinary processes in each of the last 5 years.
Answered by Kate Dearden
On 1st July 2023 due to a Machinery of Government Change, the Department of International Trade (DIT) became the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), alongside parts of the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We therefore only hold information from DBT from 1st July 2023, and information from DIT before this date, and all information shared will be within these parameters.
Year | No. of officials investigated |
2025 | 19 |
2024 | 9 |
2023 | 11 |
2022 | 11 |
2021 | <5 |
Here are the figures for UK Export Finance:
Year | No. of officials investigated |
