Department for International Trade: Senior Civil Servants
Wednesday 21st October 2020

Asked by: Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many BAME civil servants there are at the Department for International Trade at (1) SCS1, (2) SCS2, (3) SCS3, and (4) SCS4, grade.

Answered by Lord Grimstone of Boscobel

The number of Department for International Trade (DIT) staff at Senior Civil Servant (SCS) grade (excluding UK Export Finance) who have self-reported as BAME on departmental systems is 18. Of these, 14 are SCS1 grade. To protect anonymity, where identifiable characteristics are 5 or lower these are redacted, so for the remaining 4 individuals (18 total BAME staff minus 14 SCS1 grade) their SCS grades are undisclosed.

The reference date for this data is 30th September 2020. This figure only includes civil servants employed by DIT, working in the UK and on DIT payroll and UK based civil servants working overseas paid via FCDO payroll who are currently engaged in delivering DIT objectives. It is also dependent on individuals self-reporting as BAME on our HR systems. It does not include staff on loan to DIT from other government departments but who remain on their home departments payroll, contractors, military staff, people on secondment from other organisations, locally employed staff working overseas, those who are on loan or secondment out of DIT, on unpaid special leave or career break.
