Written Question
Department for Exiting the European Union: Ethnic Groups
Wednesday 24th July 2019

Asked by: Seema Malhotra (Labour (Co-op) - Feltham and Heston)

Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many BAME staff are employed at (a) grade 7, (b) grade 5 and (c) grade 3 in his Department.

Answered by Kwasi Kwarteng

The Department for Exiting the European Union is committed to the creation of a diverse and inclusive working environment. Based on the self-declaration rates held on our system, the number of BAME staff employed in each grade group, and as a proportion of the staff in that grade who have made a declaration, is as follows:

Grade

Number (proportion)

Band A (Grade 7 equivalent)

20 (13.6%)

Band A+ (Grade 6 equivalent)

12 (19.6%)

SCS1 (Grade 5 equivalent)

fewer than 5

SCS2 (Grade 3 equivalent)

fewer than 5

The Department has had success in attracting a diverse workforce at delegated grades (AO-G6 equivalent), and in particular our representation of BAME staff is one of the highest in government. Our priority is now to ensure we are representative at the most senior levels of the department focusing on processes such as talent, development, attraction and recruitment, as well as continuing to build an inclusive culture that celebrates uniqueness. These figures are based entirely on people identifying themselves as BAME on the Department’s HR system.
