Civil Service: Redundancy

Asked by Mike WoodConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 24 October 2025UIN 82675

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the National Audit Office's report entitled Government exits and redundancies, published in September 2025, if he will publish the latest dataset on civil service exit scheme applications provided to the National Audit Office by his Department.

Answered by Anna Turley

Data contained in the current National Audit Office’s (NAO’s) Good Practice Guide was provided to the NAO to help explain the context of the guidance that the NAO has issued.

There are no plans to publish further data as this information is held by individual departments, and will be reported in their Annual Report and Accounts.
