Stonewall: Arms-length Bodies and Government Departments

Monday 16th September 2024

Asked by: Baroness Stedman-Scott (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what is their policy on (1) Whitehall departments, and (2) arms-length bodies, spending taxpayers’ money on affiliating to Stonewall.

Answered by Baroness Twycross - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

Government departments and arm’s-length bodies are responsible for decisions about whether to buy services from third sector organisations to support equality, diversity and inclusion in their organisations. Currently no government department is a member of Stonewall.
