WQ.213/2020

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE CHAIR OF THE STATES EMPLOYMENT BOARD

BY DEPUTY L.M.C. DOUBLET OF ST. SAVIOUR

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 16th JUNE 2020

Question

Will the Chair advise how many non-disclosure agreements have been signed since 2000 between either individuals or companies and (i) each of the Government Departments and (ii) non-Ministerial bodies?

Answer

With regret, the response to this question in unable to be provided within the timescale requested.

Non-disclosure  agreements  (NDAs) exist in commercial contracts,  external investigators,  employees undertaking certain sensitive work and in settlement arrangements such as compromise agreements. These are not held centrally.

Searching for an accurate answer from the past twenty years from multiple departments and non-Ministerial bodies will be a time-intensive exercise requiring people to be present in offices to search manual records. Most Government offices are not open to administrative employees currently. A request has been made to each Department for this activity to be completed by the end of June 2020.
