Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will provide a list of (a) professional staff networks and (b) social clubs operating within his Department; and if he will provide the (i) budgets and (ii) FTE staff time allocated to each group within each of the last three years.

There are a number of staff networks and social groups operating within the Department for Transport.

These networks and groups are led by volunteers in their free time rather than FTE time being allocated, and this time commitment will vary between the individuals, the networks & clubs/groups depending on level of activity in the group.

There is no budget allocated to clubs and groups within the Department for Transport.
