- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the total number of staff employed within the private offices of ministers and the permanent secretary at HM Treasury on 1 June; and how many of them were (1) under the age of 21, (2) apprentices under the age of 21, and (3) apprentices over the age of 21. [HL905]
- Answer
-
Over recent years, HM Treasury has not employed apprentices. This Government want this to change. It will be actively supporting the new government scheme. A recent apprentice recruitment campaign has resulted in five new recruits, all of whom are under the age of 21.
On 1 June 2012, there were 37 staff employed in the private offices of Ministers and the Permanent Secretary at HM Treasury. None was an apprentice or under the age of 21. Apprentices have been recruited to fill existing vacancies. At the present time, none will be placed in Ministers' private offices.
