The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many and what proportion of staff in each grade in his Department were rated in the top performance category in the last year.

Answered by Jake Richards

The Ministry of Justice operates a continuous performance management approach based on a rolling cycle of regular performance conversations between line managers and staff members. As such, the Department does not hold the data requested.
