The Department for International Trade works to secure UK and global prosperity by promoting and financing international trade and investment, and championing free trade.<strong><br><\/strong><\/p><p>Departments continually review workforce plans and reprioritise and assess changing needs, which includes identification and cessation of non-priority work where appropriate. We have accelerated our plans, and at the same time, the Civil Service as a whole is working to ensure that exit implementation is carried out to a high standard without impacting public service delivery across the whole of Government.<\/p><p>For Defra, information relating to all staff who have been transferred or loaned to another department since June 2016 is provided below. We are not able to confirm how many of these were related to exit roles as this information is not held.<\/p><p>We have interpreted the second part of the question relating to \u2018other departmental briefs\u2019 as those working on projects with or in other departments through any informal arrangement that is not a formal loan or secondment. Based on this interpretation, Defra does not hold this data and is unable to provide this information.<\/p><p>The information is from June 2016 \u2013 present.<\/p><p> <\/p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Total number of staff transferred to another Government department (OGD) between June 16 \u2013 March 19<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>445<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Number of staff transferred to an OGD who have since returned to Defra<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>0<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total number of staff loaned to an OGD between June 19 \u2013 March 19<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>118*<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p><strong>Number of staff loaned to an OGD who have since returned to Defra<\/strong><\/p><\/td><td><p><strong>14<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p> <\/p><p>*This figure includes 30 loans where the end dates are between May 2019 and January 2022, and therefore we would not expect staff to have returned to Defra.
