Public Sector: Equality

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 20 May 2025UIN 51653

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what budget her Department has allocated to public sector equality, diversity and inclusion roles for (a) 2025-26 and (b) 2026-27.

Answered by James Murray

HM Treasury has fewer than 5 staff in equality, diversity and inclusion roles for 2025/26. As the total number of individuals is less than 5, HM Treasury is unable to release salary information as doing so would mean these individuals may be identifiable. This is in line with HM Treasury's data reporting policy.

The Department's budget for 2026/27 has not yet been finalised.
