Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, how many staff have been employed by his Department in each month since July 2016.
The Department for International Trade (DIT) workforce includes employees (including those working overseas and UK Export Finance), contractors and those on loan from other government departments or seconded from organisations external to the Civil Service.
This definition has been used for reporting workforce data from March 2017. Prior to this, workforce data included those who were on loan or secondment out of DIT, on special leave or on a career break, but these groups have been removed in subsequent analysis to present a clearer picture of our workforce.
Workforce data is prepared at the end of each month.
