Mr. Wilshire: To ask the Solicitor-General how many agency temporary staff have been working for the Law Officers' Departments in each of the last five years, excluding those working for agencies for which no data is kept centrally. [196061] The Solicitor-General: The number of agency temporary staff working for the Treasury Solicitor's Department and Legal Secretariat to the Law Officers on a financial year basis is: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Number 1999-2000 82.9 2000-01 101.0 2001-02 138.7 2002-03 139.9 2003-04 130.3 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Their policy is to employ agency staff for short periods for work on a specific task, to cover a vacant position pending substantive recruitment or where there is a need for specialist skills. The number of agency temporary staff working for the Serious Fraud Office, on a calendar year basis from 2000 is shown in the following table. Central records were not maintained in 1999. _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Number 2000 80 2001 114 2002 82 2003 108 _________________________________________________________________________________________________. Their policy is to employ agency staff for short-term employee absence, temporary periods of high workload, to provide regional case support and to obtain specialist skills. The Crown Prosecution Service does not maintain central records on the engagement of agency temporary staff over the last five years and to investigate further would incur disproportionate cost. Their policy is to allow agency temporary administrative staff to be employed to cover shortages due to short-term absence of substantive staff or as a result of a temporary increase in workload. HM Crown Prosecution Service also does not maintain records of individual, engagement of agency staff and to investigate further would incur disproportionate cost. Such staff are mostly engaged on an ad hoc basis to cover specific short-term needs.
