In responding to this question we have utilised data provided by our contracted supplier of interim staff who fall into the category above. This data is only available for the last 3 years under contract. Where the interim\u2019s 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>
Year<\/p><\/td> | Number of Contractors paid £220 or more, with a total contract length of more than 6 months<\/p><\/td> | Spend in Financial Year from workers who have had contracts over 6 months in duration<\/p><\/td><\/tr> |

2013-14<\/p><\/td> | 173<\/p><\/td> | £26,152,415<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> 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> 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> Spend for this requirement has increased due to the demand of our priority programmes \u2013 which will deliver significant savings across the Ministry of Justice\u2019s budget. It should be noted that since April 2010 the annual spend on interims as a whole has decreased by £10m.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/194", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Simon Hughes"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bermondsey and Old Southwark"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Simon Hughes"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-24T13:27:49.2484269Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Ministry of Justice: Off-payroll Working"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many off-payroll engagements for more than £220 a day and for a period of longer than six months were established in each of the last four years; and what the total cost of such payments has been.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1577", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sadiq Khan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Tooting"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sadiq Khan"} ], "uin" : "204748"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 1, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} } |
