Ministry of Defence: Equality

Asked by Neil O'BrienConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 26 September 2024UIN 1555

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many staff in his Department have job titles which include the words (a) equality, (b) diversity, (c) inclusion, (d) gender, (e) LGBT and (f) race.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence does not routinely collate information on specific words and collating this information would come at a disproportionate cost.

Information on spending and staffing can be found in the Department's annual report and accounts: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/ministry-of-defence-annual-report-and-accounts-2023-to-2024
