As this is a matter for individual departments these numbers are not collated centrally. I refer the noble Lord to my answer of 24 January (WA 242).
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wallace of Saltaire on 24 January (WA 242), why they will not extrapolate and collate the numbers of civil servants made redundant throughout the Civil Service annually from each individual department’s resource accounts.

I refer the noble Lord to my Answer of 24 September 2012 (Official Report, col. WA 336). This matter has been delegated to individual departments. But I remind the noble Lord that as a result of the size of the deficit this Government inherited the country was spending 120 million GBP a day in interest payments alone at the time of the general election. As such, the Civil Service has had to play its
part in tackling the largest budget deficit in the developed world. The sheer scale of the economic challenge has meant it has had to become smaller, faster, more flexible and better able to deliver our ambitious programme to reform the public services on which we all rely.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wallace of Saltaire on 19 December 2012 (WA 307–8), whether the administrators of the principal Civil Service Pension Scheme can extrapolate and accumulate the numbers and annual costs of civil servants made redundant each year; and how the...

It is for individual departments to effectively manage their resources so as to remain within their budgets. As each department is responsible for meeting the costs of any redundancy compensation to be paid to their staff it is right, and appropriate, for them to assess the efficacy of making any of their employees redundant in the light of their business needs and financial situation. The Cabinet Office exercises oversight of the operation of the Civil Service Compensation Scheme so as to ensure that departments are operating within scheme rules. This does not extend to monitoring the numbers of staff departing under the scheme.
The role of the scheme administrator appointed by the Cabinet Office is to calculate and pay compensation in accordance with the scheme rules, and ensure that the full costs are charged to departments. It is then for individual departments to report these costs in their resource accounts each year.

Further to the answer referenced in the noble Lord’s question, the costs of redundancies are met by individual departments and it is for them to report relevant information in their
resource accounts each year. This information is not recorded centrally by either the Cabinet Office, as managers of the PCSPS. or by the administrators of the PCSPS.

Payment of annual pension amounts and lump sum are made under the Principal Civil Service Pension Scheme by our administrator, My Civil Service Pension. We do not hold records centrally and to obtain these would involve disproportionate cost.
The department does not hold this information. Accordingly, I have asked the chief executive of the Royal Parks Agency to write directly to the noble Lord with this information.
Copies of the responses will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Wallace of Saltaire on 14 June (WA 265), how many staff working for the Department for Work and Pensions were made redundant or departed early last year; what were the costs under the Civil Service Compensation Scheme in...
1,435 employees departed the Department for Work and Pensions early via exit schemes with a last day of service between 1 April 2011 and 31 March 2012. The total cost to DWP under the Civil Service Compensation Scheme was £71.2 million, with an average exit cost of £49.6k.
The cost is made up of lump sum compensation payments paid to exiting staff, and the cost to DWP of buying out any actuarial reduction in pension, should an employee choose this option.
The costs of annual pension amounts and lump sum pension payments are not borne by the department, but are drawn from the Principal Civil Service Pension scheme. As such the department does not have this information available
