Department for Energy Security and Net Zero: Equality

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainDepartment for Energy Security and Net ZeroTabled Answered 18 September 2024UIN 5183

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many positions in his 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 Michael Shanks

The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero 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.

The Department is committed to promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion through its diversity networks.
