The National Statistics show that at 30 June 2018, there were 560 staff on a headcount basis and 550 staff on an FTE basis working at the Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU).

Government Departments: Training
Asked by: Thangam Debbonaire (Labour - Bristol West)
Friday 18th November 2022

Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, what percentage of eligible officials in each government department have received training from the Parliamentary Capability Team.

Answered by Penny Mordaunt - Lord President of the Council and Leader of the House of Commons

The table below provides total numbers of attendees, by department at Parliamentary Capability Team (PCT) training events since August 2017 (when the team was created). Training is open to all civil servants, but efforts are made to focus resources on those in roles that interact directly and indirectly with Parliament - including policy officials, and those directly supporting ministers.

Data under ‘cross-government/unspecified’ relates to attendance at events not arranged by the PCT, such as the annual Civil Service Live programme, and as part of other civil service initiatives such as the Fast Stream and Policy Profession programmes.
