Department for Transport: Equality

Asked by Rupert LoweRestore BritainDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 30 January 2026UIN 106720

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many civil servants employed by their Department work in roles primarily focused on (a) transgender policy, (b) diversity, (c) equity and (d) inclusion; and at what annual salary cost.

Answered by Simon Lightwood

The Department for Transport does not routinely collate information on specific words and collating this information would come at a disproportionate cost. Information on spending and staffing can be found in the Department's annual report and accounts.
