It was answered by Feryal Clark (Labour) on Thursday, 12 December 2024 on behalf of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology.


Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Staff

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how many employee settlement agreements there were in his Department in each year since 2020; and what the total value of such agreements is.

Answer

DSIT was established in February 2023 and we therefore do not hold date for the full period in question.

There has been less than 5 instances of settlement agreements being used since the department's creation. We are unable to share the precise number and value of agreements without individuals potentially being identifiable.
