Written Question
Prime Minister: Staff
Monday 20th July 2015

Asked by: Lord Lawson of Blaby (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many staff there were in the Prime Minister's office for each Prime Minister over the last 30 years.

Answered by Lord Bridges of Headley

The staffing numbers for the Prime Minister’s Office are included in the overall Cabinet Office staff numbers which are available on gov.uk from 2011 onwards.

The information prior to this point is not held centrally and it would incur disproportionate costs to be able to identify, analyse and provide this information before 2011.
