To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many vacant civilian staff full-time equivalent posts Defence Equipment and Support has backfilled with contractors or contingent labour in each of the last three years; and what the cost to the public purse was of those arrangements.
Contingent labour is only used for instances where Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) does not have the specialist skills it needs in-house, or for urgent requirements where normal recruitment activities would not fill the post in time with a civilian or military employee.
The cost and average number of contingent labour personnel used by DE&S in each of the last three financial years is shown in the table below.
Year | 2017-18 | 2016-17 | 2015-16 |
Cost (£ million) | 27.8 | 42.6 | 27.1 |
Average number (Full time equivalent) | 254 | 358 | 292 |

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the average salary increase was for each grade Defence Equipment and Support employee in 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the average salary increase was for each grade Defence Equipment and Support employee in 2016.
In 2016, the average salary increase across all grades of Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) employees was 1.35%. Given the changes to the DE&S pay arrangements since this period, a more detailed breakdown of this increase would require significant manual analysis of historical records and, as such, an analysis by grade could be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The priority for Defence Equipment and Support (DE&S) is the safe provision of world-class procurement and support to the Armed Forces. The DE&S performance management system, which is designed to enable the organisation to recruit and retain the specialist skills it needs, is just one element that contributes to delivery performance. This performance is measured through an integrated set of key performance indicators (KPI), progress against which is published in the DE&S Annual Report and Accounts. KPI 1 reflects delivery performance to the Armed Forces, and this shows that DE&S continues to achieve or exceed its targets.
