Ministry of Defence: Equality
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, 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 Louise Sandher-Jones
The Ministry of Defence does not routinely collate information on specific words contained within role descriptions; collating this information would come at disproportionate cost.
The Department’s accounts are published annually and made public; there are no plans to provide a further breakdown of the data to include, among other things, an estimate of expenditure relating to equality, diversity and inclusion.
