Department for Transport: Migrant Workers

Answer

The table below provides details on the number of citizens of non-UK EU countries working in the Department for Transport as at 30^th September 2018. The figures provided cannot be considered as comprehensive for the following reasons;

• The data provided only represents the number of staff where nationality has been declared by the individual and captured on an HR system.
• The Central Department, Executive Agencies and NDPB capture some nationality data during the recruitment of new entrants but this has not always been the case historically.
• This data is also not always stored on HR systems after recruitment, because different areas of the department have not operated the same HR systems, and there has not been a consistent approach to this data between the centre, the agencies and our NDPBs.

	Number of staff recorded as non-UK EU citizens
Central Department	63
Executive Agencies	36
Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs)	792

Please note, although as a non-Ministerial Department, the Office of Rail and Road does not fall within the scope of this question, we have included it for the sake of completeness.

Please note, the responses do not include information from Driver & Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), because DVSA’s HR System does not record the nationality of staff.
