The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will publish the total cost to the public purse for the provision of diversity, equality and inclusion courses for staff in her Department in 2024.

Answered by Feryal Clark

Under data transparency publications, the department publishes transactions over £25,000. As EDI spend is less than this, it won’t be published.
