Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, how many employee settlement agreements there were in his Department in each year since 2020; and what the total value of such agreements is.
The Department for Business and Trade issued less than 5 settlement agreements in the years 2020 and 2022. We withhold the exact figures and the total value of these agreements under Section 40(2) (Personal information) of the Data Protection Act. Due to a Machinery of Government change, data prior to 1st July 2023 relates to the Department for International Trade.
No settlement agreements were made in the other years requested.
