Civil Service: Ethnic Groups

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 8 April 2025UIN 42410

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the cost to the public purse was of the Civil Service Race Forum in each year since its creation.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Civil Service Race Forum (CSRF) is a volunteer collaborative group of Civil Service ethnic minority staff. The CSRF does not hold a budget, but a department can choose to provide support where there is a business case to do so. We are not aware of any such financial support since 2020. We do not hold any records prior to this date. The CSRF was created in 2016.
