Departmental Scientists
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many (a) scientific advisers and (b) civil servants in scientific posts there are in his Department.
- Answer
-
There are no scientific adviser posts within the Ministry of Justice, nor are there any civil servants working in scientific posts. A small number of staff in the National Offender Management Service work as scientific officers or with the scientific grade group but these are in statistical or professional and technical, rather than scientific roles. The Ministry of Justice as a whole employs a number of statisticians, economists, social researchers and operational researchers but these are not classified as scientific posts.Some scientific services are provided to the Ministry of Justice by staff employed by the other Government Departments most notably the Home Office Scientific Development Branch.
