Answer

Twelve staff have been made redundant in Crown Law since 27 November 2023. A breakdown by month has not been provided in order to protect the personal information of the staff concerned. None of these were subsequently re-appointed to new roles and none were due to voluntary redundancy. Three staff have been made redundant in the Parliamentary Counsel Office since 27 November 2023. Two in May 2024, one in June 2025. None of these were subsequently re-appointed to new roles and none were due to voluntary redundancy.
