Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many of the 91,000 jobs proposed to be cut from the civil service will be from his Department; and whether he has made an assessment of the impact of that reduction on the ability to grow numbers of skilled staff recognised in the three year spending review agreed in March 2022.

No decisions have been taken on where reductions will be made to civil service headcount.
