Answer

I am advised by the Ministry for Ethnic Communities that: a) Since 27 November 2023, five staff have been made redundant by voluntary redundancy, two in April 2024 and three in May 2024. b) Since 27 November 2023, seven staff have been made redundant by all other forms of redundancy. One in May 2024, two in June 2024, one in July 2024, two in August 2024 and one in April 2025. None of the staff who were made redundant have been appointed to a new role within the Ministry.
