Department for Culture, Media and Sport: Equality

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many positions in her Department included (a) diversity, (b) inclusion, (c) equity and (d) equality in their job title in each of the last five years; and what the total cost of the salaries of each such job was in each of those years.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport 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 & accounts.
