I propose to take Questions Nos. 455, 456 and 458 together.

There are three civil servants and two civilian employees of this Department on the redeployment panel at present. The civil servants were placed on the redeployment panel in October 2011, and the civilian employees were placed on the redeployment panel in March 2012. My Department is actively engaging with the Public Appointments Service and individual Departments on the redeployment of these staff and it is hoped to identify suitable opportunities for their reassignment at an early date.
