Cabinet Office: Disciplinary Proceedings

Asked by Neil O'BrienConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 6 January 2026UIN 100976

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many disciplinary cases were concluded against civil servants in (a) the Department and (b) its agencies broken down by (i) outcome and (ii) whether the primary allegation related to (A) performance and (B) conduct in the past twelve months.

Answered by Anna Turley

The Cabinet Office does not centrally hold detailed data on all discipline cases required to answer this question.

  • Minor misconduct cases are managed within the line management chain and details are held at that level.

  • Serious and gross misconduct cases are reported via a third party, Civil Service Casework, supplied by the MOJ Casework Team. This data relies on MOJ HR Case Manager manual entries which may be inaccurate and or incomplete.
