The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what diversity, equality and inclusion targets her Department has for staff recruitment.

Answered by Alex Norris

MHCLG do not have diversity, equality and inclusion recruitment targets. Our recruitment processes aim to attract a diverse range of applications, with a focus on parity with the economically active population in the places we work. The Economically Active Population (EAP) is published by the Office for National Statistics for the regions in the UK.
