Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much her Department spent on (a) recruitment agency fees, (b) outplacement agency fees for displaced or redundant staff and (c) staff training in each of the last five years.
Answered by Nick Gibb
The Department records centrally the total amount spent on recruitment, but this is not broken down between money spent on recruitment agencies, executive search consultants, advertising expenditure and other recruitment costs, so we are unable to provide this figure.
