To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Answer of 19 October 2022 to Question 63322, what proportion of the civil servants who will support levelling up directors she expects will be (a) recruited for that role and (b) already employed in the civil service.

As my answer of 19 October 2022 made clear - the recruitment of Levelling Up Directors is still underway and a further statement will be made in due course including how they will be supported.
