Department for Science, Innovation and Technology: Sikhs
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how many Sikhs are employed in his Department; and whether they are recorded as (a) an ethnic or (b) a religious group.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology records Sikh or Sikhism, as a religion or belief and not as an ethnicity.
Please refer to Table A3 of the Civil Service Statistics 2024 where statistics on religion or belief by department as at 31 March 2024 are published: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-service-statistics-2024. This includes statistics on those recorded as ‘Sikh’.
