Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what the breakdown of her Department’s overseas network in the Europe region was by each individual location where they are based as at 1 March 2021.

The Department for International Trade (DIT) employs both domestic and overseas staff, who are contracted separately through the Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). Staff working on DIT objectives but contracted through the FCDO and based in the Europe region total 335. The table attached shows the individual country locations of where these staff are based.

These figures do not include staff on loan to DIT from other government departments but who remain on their home departments payroll, contractors, military staff, people on secondment from other organisations, those who are on loan or secondment out of DIT, on unpaid special leave or career break, and people working in UK Export Finance.
