Written Answers
Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Employment Tribunals Service
Asked by: Neil O'Brien (Conservative - Harborough, Oadby and Wigston)
Wednesday 12th November 2025

Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how many employment tribunal claims (a) for unfair dismissal and (b) under the Equality Act 2010 have been brought against her Department in each of the last five years.

Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology)

Data specific to DSIT is only available from July 2024 onwards, prior to this data was categorised under BEIS and so we are unable to determine if cases relate to DSIT or DESNZ.

  1. 3 claims of unfair dismissal, all raised in 2025
  2. 7 claims under the Equality Act 2010, 1 raised in 2024 and 6 raised in 2025
Department for Business and Trade: Performance Appraisal
Asked by: Neil O'Brien (Conservative - Harborough, Oadby and Wigston)
Monday 10th November 2025

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many performance reviews were undertaken for staff in (a) his Department and (b) its agencies in each of the last five years; in how many of those cases performance was rated as unsatisfactory or below; how many staff left as a result of such a rating; and what proportion of full-time equivalent staff that represented.

Answered by Kate Dearden - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

On 1st July 2023 due to a Machinery of Government Change, the Department of International Trade (DIT) became the Department for Business and Trade (DBT), alongside parts of the Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). We therefore only hold information from DBT from 1st July 2023.

DBT does not hold performance management data for its agencies.

Performance reviews are held for every member of staff as per our Line Management Guidance. We capture this for all SCS, but results of delegated reviews (AA to Grade 6) are only partially available.

The data below shows performance reviews recorded in our system. Exact numbers of leavers due to poor performance and the percentages of such are withheld as disclosure could identify individuals and breach GDPR principles.

Department for Business and Trade: Termination of Employment
Asked by: Neil O'Brien (Conservative - Harborough, Oadby and Wigston)
Monday 10th November 2025

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many staff left his Department in each of the last five years by grade.

Answered by Kate Dearden - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

Information on the number of civil servants leaving each government department and organisation by responsibility level for the years 2021 to 2025 is published annually through the ‘Civil Service data browser’ as part of Civil Service Statistics 2025, an accredited official statistics publication. Information can be accessed through the Civil Service data browser for 2021 through 2025 at the following web address:

https://civil-service-statistics.jdac.service.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/

Here is the break down by grade in 2024/2025 and 2023/2024.

The DBT was created in 2023. Complete staff record for DBT was only available since 1 August 2023. Leavers data prior to 1 August 2023 was provided by DBT’s predecessors, the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and the Department for International Trade.
