Ministry of Defence: Staff

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, 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

The below table details the number of employee settlement agreements and amounts for the years where data is available.

All information prior to 2023 has now been archived and would incur disproportionate cost to obtain.

Calendar Year	Number of settlement agreements	Total Value
2023	13	£357,366.32
2024	12	£822,729.11

The year in which a case is settled does not reflect the year in which the claim was made or proceedings on the case started.
