Civil Servants: Muslims

Asked by Sir John HayesConservativeCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 23 June 2025UIN 59705

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the cost to the public purse was of the Civil Service Muslim Network in the last three years.

Answered by Georgia Gould

The Civil Service Muslim Network (CSMN) is a volunteer collaborative group of Civil Service staff. The majority of staff network time is voluntary. The CSMN network 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. There has been no centrally funded cost to the public purse of the CSMN network in the last three years.
