Department for Work and Pensions: Termination of Employment

Asked by Neil O'BrienConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 19 November 2025UIN 89580

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many staff in his Department did not retain employment following the completion of their probationary period in the last 12 months.

Answered by Andrew Western

The information requested is not held centrally and due to the additional activity that would be required to provide it, would incur disproportionate cost.
