View answerThere are seventeen staff on temporary or other non-permanent contracts in my Department. Five of these relate to personal appointments I am making and each contract is coterminous with my appointment as Minister. In addition to these, my Department has engaged twelve temporary clerical officers for project work over the summer months. The average duration of each of these temporary clerical contracts is 12 weeks.
