answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government Major Projects Portfolio (GMPP) is a continually evolving portfolio of the government’s most complex and high risk projects. Direct comparisons of the GMPP across years should therefore be treated with caution. Projects join and leave the GMPP throughout the year and it is therefore likely that a simple comparison across two time points will refer to different sets of projects.</p><p> </p><p>At the end of June 2016 (i.e. the end of the Quarter 1 reporting period for 2016-17), 320 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) public sector employees were reported as working on the Department for Transport’s GMPP projects.</p><p> </p><p>GMPP data for December 2018 (Q3 2018/19) has not yet been cleared and finalised. At the end of September 2018 (i.e. the latest submitted data, at end of the Quarter 2 reporting period for 2018-19), 361 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) public sector employees were reported as working on the Department for Transport’s GMPP projects.</p><p> </p><p>Given the different nature of the projects and programmes within the Department for Transport, some of the FTE figures include public sector employees in the relevant arms-length-body.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 31/01/2019 15:48:21 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
