Cabinet Office: Career Development

Asked by Neil O'BrienConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 13 January 2026UIN 100973

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many and what proportion of staff were promoted (a) in-grade and (b) to a higher grade in the last year broken down by (i) performance marking in the previous year and (ii) grade.

Answered by Anna Turley

This data would be difficult to present, due to there being no definition of an in grade promotion and limited data on staff who go on promotion to another department. Collation and presentation of this data would require significant manual work and data linking across departments.
