Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, how many people working in his Department are over 65 years old; and if he will make a statement.
The Scotland Office does not employ staff; all staff that join, do so on an assignment, loan or secondment from other government bodies, principally the Scottish Government and the Ministry of Justice. Both of these bodies and other employers of Scotland Office staff hold information relating to the diversity of staff.
