(c) Temporary or Agency workers in employment in his Department (how many there were in each month since May 2005)
The breakdown of permanent and temporary/casual staff in post has been published as part of the Office for National Statistics Quarterly Public Sector Employment statistics. This is the key official source of workforce numbers for the Civil Service and provides a breakdown of permanent and temporary/casual employees by Department. Statistics on the number of contractors employed by Departments are not published. The Civil Service statistics represent those employees paid directly from the Department's payroll. Any contractors employed via agencies and so not paid directly by the Department are not included. Temporary Staff in Post figures are included in the following table.
The Former Department of Constitutional Affairs within the Ministry Of Justice (including Her Majesty's Court Service, Public Guardianship Office, Tribunals Service and Associated Offices) have a national contract with Kelly Services Ltd. for the provision of agency staff. Information relating to workers employed through employment agencies for the Ministry of Justice and its Agencies is not held centrally and could be provided only at disproportionate cost.
