§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many agency workers have been employed by the Department in each of the last two years; and at what cost to public funds. [115193]
§ Mr. BlunkettThe Home Office does not maintain a central record of agency workers. Agency workers are appointed by agreement with individual units within the Department and the recruitment agencies supplying agency workers.
The information required could only be obtained at a disproportionate cost.
