Written question asked by Preet Kaur Gill (Labour) on Monday, 25 March 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 28 March 2019 (named day). It was answered by Harriett Baldwin (Conservative) on Thursday, 28 March 2019 on behalf of the Department for International Development.

Department for International Development: Secondment

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to the Answer of 20 March 2019 to Question 234783 on Department for International Development: Secondment, when she will decide whether the 175 staff in her Department are placed with other Departments.

Answer: The 175 roles referenced in the previous answer of 20 March 2019 formed the basis of a ‘tranche’ of potential matches for DFID to consider. DFID has provisionally matched to over half of these and are focussing on progressing these matches into actual deployments as appropriate. The work to match and deploy to cross-government priorities is iterative and likely to continue in the immediate future, as DFID continues to support other government departments with increased demands.
