Department for Transport: Ethnic Groups
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing specific (a) Sikh and (b) Jewish options for a person’s ethnic group in data collection conducted by her Department.
Answered by Mike Kane
There are no plans for the Department for Transport to assess the potential merits of introducing specific (a) Sikh and (b) Jewish options for a person’s ethnic group as part of data collection.
For analytical data collection, the Department follows Office for National Statistics guidance on how to capture personal characteristics and ethnic group data choices are aligned to the Civil Service wide NOVA Functional Reference Model.
