Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Defence

The current civil service vacancies in my Department are set out in the following table. In respect of each of these posts set out in this table a request was made to Public Appointments Service (PAS) in Quarter 2 2018 for replacements to be assigned. My officials are in regular contact with PAS in this regard and I am satisfied that every effort is being made to ensure the posts are filled at the earliest opportunity.
