Ministry of Defence: Equality

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the cost to the public purse was of staff diversity networks in his Department in each of the last five years.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence does not routinely collate information on staff network costs and collating this information could only be done at 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
