Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many of his Department's officials who have left his Department in the last three years now work in (a) TDPi and (b) other consultancy firms.

I made a Written Ministerial Statement to the House on 14 March which can be found at the following link: http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2016-03-14/HCWS619/

The investigation is being led by a Deputy Director in the Cabinet Office, and I will update the House once its work is complete.
