This data is only available for the last 3 years under contract. Where the interim’s contract spans financial years the spend data is reported for the year in which spend was incurred, all figures are based on total charge rate exc VAT:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of Contractors paid £220 or more, with a total contract length of more than 6 months</p></td><td><p>Spend in Financial Year from workers who have had contracts over 6 months in duration</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>242</p></td><td><p>£20,814,160</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>139</p></td><td><p>£23,792,142</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>173</p></td><td><p>£26,152,415</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>There are currently no off-payroll staff from whom assurances about their tax status are outstanding. We have made it absolutely clear to all relevant contractors that they must meet their tax and national insurance obligations. Any senior off-payroll workers who fail to provide assurances about their tax arrangements face having their contracts terminated.</p><p>We only use temporary staff to fulfil essential roles within the Ministry of Justice; these staff provide a fast, flexible and efficient way to obtain necessary skills that are not currently available in-house.</p><p>Spend for this requirement has increased due to the demand of our priority programmes – which will deliver significant savings across the Ministry of Justice’s budget. It should be noted that since April 2010 the annual spend on interims as a whole has decreased by £10m.</p> answering member constituency Bermondsey and Old Southwark answering member printed Simon Hughes question first answered 24/10/2014 13:27:49 answering member 194 label Biography information for Simon Hughes
