Ministry of Defence: Equality

Asked by Charlie DewhirstConservativeMinistry of DefenceTabled Answered 7 September 2026UIN 24123

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, 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 Ministry of Defence

The Ministry of Defence (MOD) does not maintain a centrally held list of every diversity and inclusion initiative recognised across the Department and each of its agencies; the requested information could be provided only at disproportionate cost. The MOD believes that support and recognition of these initiatives is vital in promoting an inclusive working environment and celebrating the contributions of all our people from different backgrounds.
