Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many applications his Department has received for (a) internal loans and (b) secondments from civil servants in each year since 2010.
The Department does not hold a central register of staff seconded into the Department, nor internal loans. Individuals seconded from an external organisation in to the Department do not have a Civil Service Contract and are not paid through the Departments payroll.
The information requested is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
