Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of senior civil service graded posts in his Department classified as (i) deputy director, (ii) assistant director, (iii) team leader and (iv) policy manager have been based outside London in each year since 2014.

Answer

Information on Deputy Director roles undertaken by Senior Civil Servants (SCS) outside of London is as follows:

Year

Number of deputy director roles

Proportion of deputy director roles based outside London

2014

42

28.57%

2015

20

13.3%

2016

21

13.0%

2014 consists of SCS roles for the central Department and 5 executive agencies, including the Highways Agency (now known as Highways England). From 1st April 2015, Highways England became a Limited Company and is therefore excluded from the figures in 2015 and 2016.
