The issuing of all passes is controlled by the local Departmental Security teams. Passes can also be issued to contractors or secondees based within Government premises on a case by case basis in regards to specific business needs. Numbers of passes issued directly to non-civil servants for access to departmental buildings will fluctuate over the course of a year.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 07/02/2017 16:14:12 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
