Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many officials in his Department qualify for privilege days; and what the total cost to the public purse was of the number of privilege days utilised each year by such officials.

[147747]

Answer

The Scotland Office does not employ staff directly and has no direct costs in respect of privilege days. All staff that join the Office do so on an assignment, secondment or loan agreement from other Government bodies but principally from the Scottish Government or the Ministry of Justice. Public and privilege holidays are a matter for the parent bodies.
