Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many members of staff worked (a) for the Child Maintenance Service and (b) in the financial investigations unit of that Service in each year since 2013.
We have provided figures from 2017. This is because prior to 2017, figures showing Child Maintenance Service as a separate department to Child Maintenance Group are not available.
These figures are a snapshot taken in the month of June only for each year, as figures fluctuate from month to month.
Please see table below:
| FIU | CMS |

June 17 | 19 | 5238 |
