The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, 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 Satvir Kaur

Please find the information requested below:

Number of Directors with responsibility for human resources (HR)

Number of Directors delivering non-HR technical activity e.g. Shared Services

Number of Directors with CIPD membership

6

The numbers concerned would relate to five individuals or fewer. We therefore cannot provide details in such cases as the individuals concerned could be identifiable. This is standard statistical reporting.

The information included in this response also includes those directors working in Government People Group, which is the strategic and functional centre for the cross Government People Function and human resources (HR) for the whole Civil Service.
