Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what the cost has been to the public purse of the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland, in each of the last three years.

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland does not have a role in the Equality Commission for Northern Ireland’s budget. The Equality Commission is sponsored by the Executive Office, which approves its budget.

The Commission’s published annual reports and accounts can be accessed via their website, at https://www.equalityni.org/Home.
