Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many FTE staff were employed by the Prudential Regulation Authority in each of the last five years.

The below figures for FTE staff employed by the Prudential Regulation Authority are published in the Bank of England’s Annual Reports and Accounts (BoE ARA) over the last five years.

• 2018: 1399 [Source: p138 of the BoE ARA 2017-18]

• 2017: 1327 [Source: p99 of the BoE ARA 2016-17]

• 2016: 1242 [Source: p100 of the BoE ARA 2016]

• 2015: 1139 [Source: p112 of the BoE ARA 2015]

• 2014: 953 [Source: p85 of the BoE ARA 2014}

Prior to PRA de-subsidiarisation, slightly different numbers were presented in the PRA’s Annual Report and Accounts (due to the way contingent workers are defined), but the above are the most representative numbers with like-for-like comparisons year-on-year.
