Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many full-time equivalent staff were employed in his Department's human resources section in April 2020.
Answered by Luke Hall - Minister of State (Education)
As of 30 April 2020 the full time equivalent (FTE) staff employed in MHCLG’s human resources directorate totalled 62.6. This figure will include staff that do not work directly on HR functions, for example it will include an in-house shared service function and business management staff.
This calculation for FTE uses the ONS definition which is all directly employed payroll staff employed on that date.
