Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many vacant posts in Head Office and Corporate Services are being actively recruited for as of 16 April 2024.
In response to the Government's policy announcement to implement a cap on Civil Service headcount, the Department is currently reviewing its future Civil Service workforce requirement aligned to this direction. Vacancies are being reviewed as part of workforce planning and prioritisation activity. Until this work is completed it is not possible to provide specific numbers of posts vacant/not being actively recruited.
