Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will publish a list of appointments to her Department made by exception since 30 May 2024, by grade.

From 30 May to 5 September 2024, 25 staff were appointed to HM Treasury by exception.

The breakdown of these appointments by grade is as below.

• Student – 16

• AO (Range B) – Fewer than 5

• EO (Range C) – Fewer than 5

• HEO – Fewer than 5

• SEO – Fewer than 5

• G7 (Range E) – Fewer than 5

• G6 (Range E2) – Fewer than 5

• SCS1 – Fewer than 5

• SCS2 – Fewer than 5

• SCS3 - Fewer than 5

Where the number of individuals covered is fewer than five (which could include 0), we consider that to provide an exact figure would constitute the disclosure of personal data.

The ‘Student’ grade is used for staff appointed to short term roles via cross Civil Service internship schemes.
