Information requested

At 1 April 2024, how many FTE civil servants were in the Constitutional Futures Division, the business area of the Scottish Government responsible for coordination of the Building a New Scotland prospectus series, broken down by pay scales (A-C grade and SCS pay scale).

Response

The Scottish Government recently published information about the number of staff and their grades in Constitutional Futures Division (CFD) at 27 March 2024, and I can confirm these details did not change between then and 1 April 2024. Please see the link below:
