Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, if their Department will publish an Ethnicity Pay Gap Report for financial year 2023-24 in line with the Ethnicity Pay Gap reporting guidance for employers published on 17 April 2023.

The Government Legal Department [GLD] is currently considering the best way to approach Ethnicity Pay Gap reporting in the Civil Service and is working with Civil Service HR colleagues and other government departments through the details of the reporting guidance published on 17 April 2023.

The Civil Service is looking to develop Ethnicity Pay Gap Reporting in line with current Gender Pay Gap Reporting. The outcomes of this development work will inform whether we are able to publish a report for 2023/2024.
