Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many full time equivalent MP account management staff are on secondment to her Department; and what the cost is to the public purse of those secondments.

Since September 2017 the Home Office has seconded 19 full time equivalent staff from HM Revenue and Customs to the MP Account Management Teams. The seconded staff are part of a Cross Government Operational Delivery Profession whose role it is to support peaks in customer demand.
