Ministry of Justice: Personnel Management

Asked by Mr Joshua ReynoldsLiberal DemocratMinistry of JusticeTabled Answered 26 February 2026UIN 115313

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many directors with responsibility for human resources are employed across their department and its executive agencies; and how many of those directors hold professional HR qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development or equivalent professional bodies.

Answered by Jake Richards

As the number of individuals is five or fewer, the Ministry of Justice is unable to disclose the figure. This is to protect against the risk that individuals could be identified, in line with our obligations under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
