uin	35669
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/05/2016 answer text <p>Staff in the JIO are drawn from the Cabinet Office and across Government including the MOD, FCO, and Armed Forces. They are employed on a range of terms and conditions including formal and informal, short and long term secondments. In 2004 the Rt Hon The Lord Butler of Brockwell reported that its size was “some 30 senior and middle-ranking officials”; it is currently larger than that but, given the nature of the work that they do, I am unable, for security reasons, to give further detail. There are about 200 people in the National Security Secretariat, similarly drawn from a range of Departments and employed on a range of terms and conditions. Again, for security reasons, I am unable to give details on the previous employment of staff in either organisation, but both draw on external experts in their business.</p> answering member constituency West Dorset answering member printed Mr Oliver Letwin question first answered 04/05/2016 09:41:31 answering member 247 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Letwin
