Civil Servants: Dismissal
The question
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many civil servants were dismissed from the Civil Service but not referred to the police for breaching the Official Secrets Act between 2005 and 2025.
Answered by Satvir Kaur
This information is not held centrally by the Cabinet Office.
Departments have delegated responsibility for decisions relating to dismissal of an employee.
Civil Service statistics on the composition of the Civil Service workforce, including data on those leaving the Civil Service due to dismissals, are available on GOV.UK.
