The information requested is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Local HR teams are not necessarily informed of physical relocations within a given business area.
The Ministry of Justice’s accounting systems record relocation costs at an organisational level and not according to the geographical location of staff.
It would incur disproportionate cost to identify spend on the relocation of staff from posts in Essex and Castle Point. To identify the information required would involve investigations by all of the local offices and agencies of the Ministry of Justice operating within Essex and the Castle Point constituency, including prisons, probation services, magistrates, Crown and county courts and tribunal services.
