Department for Transport: Equality

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeDepartment for TransportTabled Answered 8 September 2026UIN 24120

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what specific diversity and inclusion (a) days, (b) weeks and (c) months, were recognised and marked by (i) the department and (ii) each of its agencies, in the calendar year 2025.

Answered by Department for Transport

The Department for Transport does not hold central registers of corporately recognised and marked diversity and inclusion days/weeks/months and so is unable to answer on the grounds of disproportionate cost. This is due to the resource required to conduct searches for the time period requested across HR teams, communications teams and staff networks.
