The Department for International Trade (DIT) came to existence in July 2016.

DIT’s Annual Report and Accounts (ARA) details the total paid in exit packages in 2016-17 and those paid under UK Trade and Investment (one of DIT’s predecessor organisations) in 2015-16.

Further information can also be found in the ARA on page 48 and 49:

Of the total exit packages paid in the ARA, covering 2015/16 and 2016/17, 49% was paid to men and 51% to women.
