Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation: Staff
(asked on 28th March 2022) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many (a) full and (b) part time members of staff have been employed by the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation in each of the last five years.
The Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), part of HM Treasury, is the competent authority for financial sanctions in the UK. The number of active staff in OFSI since Financial Year 2016-2017 can be found in the table below:
Financial Year | Total number of staff |
2016-2017 | 27 |
2017-2018 | 30 |
2018-2019 | 36 |
2019-2020 | 38 |
2020-2021 | 40 |
Where the number of individuals covered is less than five, HMG considers that to provide an exact figure would constitute the disclosure of personal data. HMT is therefore unable to provide a breakdown of full time vs. part time staff.
In light of recent developments in Ukraine, the number of staff has since increased. Releasing further details of OFSI’s budget and headcount by function could prejudice its operational effectiveness.
HM Treasury does not hold data regarding the number of staff in the OFSI who speak (a) Russian and (b) Ukrainian.
