Question: To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, pursuant to the Answer of 25 March 2019 to Question 234782 on Department for International Development: Secondment, what the length of secondment is for those 74 staff already deployed.

Answer: DFID continues to work to support other government departments’ increased resource demands as a result of the UK’s exit from the EU, whilst ensuring continued delivery of its core business.
