Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, how many and what proportion of digital posts in her Department are vacant.

The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) does not have any Digital and Data (DDaT) posts.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is the AGO’s shared IT service provider. The total number of vacant DDaT posts in the CPS is 32, 10.5% of DDaT posts in the CPS.

As part of the 2022 to 2025 roadmap for digital and data, all government departments made a commitment to reduce their digital and data vacancies to under 10% of total Government Digital and Data headcount by 2025. Overall good progress has been made, with total vacancies now at 15%.
