§ Annabelle EwingTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development how many and what percentage of(a) civil service, (b)) executive agencies and 698W (c) non-departmental public body jobs under the remit of her Department are located in Scotland; and how many of each have been relocated to Scotland since May 1997. [56313]
§ Clare ShortDFID civil service staff are located in London, East Kilbride and, increasingly, overseas. The number of posts currently located in Scotland is 530, which represents just over 33 per cent. of the total.
We do not hold detailed records of civil service jobs relocated to Scotland between 1997 and 2002 but the information we do hold indicates that staff numbers in East Kilbride increased by around 70 in that period.
No posts within the three non-departmental public bodies under the remit of the Department have been relocated to Scotland.
