Cabinet Office: Staff

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 19 May 2026, to Question 1421, what is the number of headcount staff within the Cabinet Office who have no post, according to the most recent snapshot which is held by the Cabinet Office.

Answered by Satvir Kaur

I refer to the previous answer for 1421.

At any point in time, there is likely to be a small number of individuals who have been displaced due to restructures within their business units or, for example, have returned from a loan from another department and their role no longer exists. The exact number changes on a day-to-day basis.
