Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many full-time equivalent staff in her Department are working on the science and technology skills dashboard.

The science and technology jobs and skills dashboard has been developed by the department’s Unit for Future Skills alongside science and technology policy experts in the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. It is expected to be published in due course. Once the dashboard is published, the expectation is for it to take less than one full time-equivalent staff member to maintain and develop further.
