With regard to the information being sought by the Deputy, I can confirm that my Department has not found it necessary to take such form of action in relation to any Departmental staff in the relevant period.  In the event of any issues arising around the adherence of staff to the Civil Service Code of Standards and Behaviour, such matters can be addressed by line managers by reference to a number of human resources policies including, for example, the Civil Service Disciplinary Code and Management of Underperformance policy.  My Department provides all appropriate training supports to line managers on the implementation of such policies.
