Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many complaints there have been of racist behaviour in the workplace in HMRC in each of the last five years, by directorate.
Year | Formal Complaints recorded under race category |
2016 | 5 |
2017 | 6 |
2018 | 6 |
2019 | 11 |
2020 (to date) | 10 |
Release of these figures by directorate would breach HMRC’s statutory obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation, as it could lead to identification of the individuals concerned.
The figures provided are for formal complaints recorded under the ‘race’ category. It is possible that other complaints may have included a racial element, but if that was not deemed the primary reason for the complaint it could have been recorded under a different category.
