Environment Agency: Legal Profession
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many solicitor vacancies there were in the Environment Agency Area facing legal services teams in 2008, 2014, 2020 and 2026.
Answered by Emma Hardy
The table below shows the number of solicitors employed by the Environment Agency in the Area facing legal services teams in 2020 and 2026, and the number of vacant lawyer posts that were being held during these years.
The Environment Agency does not hold data for 2008, and it has insufficient data for 2014.
Year | Number of solicitors employed in Area facing teams | Number of vacant lawyer posts |
2020 | 52 (47.36 Full Time Equivalent) | 4 |
2026 | 66 (52.69 Full Time Equivalent) | 6 |
