§ Peter HainSince its creation in July 1999, my Department has recruited no civil servants itself but has been entirely staffed by people on loan or secondment from other organisations. These have been predominantly from the National Assembly for Wales but some staff have come from other Government departments and there has been one secondment from a local authority.
