Answered by Ian Murray
The Cabinet Office and the Commissioner for Public Appointments publish annual data reports detailing public appointments made by government departments. These reports include data on various diversity metrics, including ethnic background.
To protect the identity of individuals within smaller ethnicity groups, the public appointment data is broken down by white and ethnic minority categories only. The reports are publicly available on GOV.UK.
