Since May 2010, this Department has recruited six members of staff, all on fixed term contracts. In the final quarter of 2010-11 the Department ran a voluntary redundancy scheme for all staff under the new Civil Service Compensation Scheme and 44 members of staff have left as at 30 June 2011. The Department has spent £2,891,000 on redundancies since May 2010.The Department does not hold this information for each arm's length body for which it is responsible and I have asked the chief executive of each one to write directly to the right hon. Member. Copies of these letters will be placed in the Library of both Houses.
