<p>Expenditure incurred by the Home Department and its agencies on consultants, <br
/>temporary staff and contingent labour in the last five years is published <br />annually
in the Home Office Annual Report and Accounts, copies of which are <br />held in the

/><br />The Department did not separately account for Agency Staff (Temporary Workers)
<br />in these years as the costs associated with this category are included in the
<br />overall Contingent Labour figures. <br /><br />Spend on contingent and consultancy
labour has decreased significantly overall <br />since 09/10.<br /><br /></p><table><tbody><tr><td>

Staff at AA, AO, EO, HEO and SEO equivalent <br />Grades, the vast majority at the
AA to EO grades. Contractors are engaged in <br />grade equivalents EO to SCS PB1
with the vast majority at SEO and G6/7.<br /><br />The Department buys consultancy
as a service and therefore does not engage <br />consultants individually.<br /><br
/>To provide details of contract durations and equivalent grades would require <br
/>analysis of individual contracts and disparate datasets, the time taken to <br />undertake
this task would incur disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
