Wales Office: Staff
(asked on 21st November 2018) - View Source
Question to the Wales Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what proportion of employees in his Department identify as (a) male and (b) female; and what the average hourly pay was for staff identifying as (a) male and (b) female in each of the last three years.
The Office of the Secretary of State for Wales (OSSW) is not an employer in its own right. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) provide employment services on our behalf. Currently the MoJ does not collect data on the way in which staff identify their gender, only data relating to their sex.
As at 31 October 2018, 53% of MoJ employees assigned to OSSW were recorded as being female and 47% as being male.
The average hourly pay for staff recorded as (a) male and (b) female at the end of each of the last 3 financial years, is set out below:
| Average Hourly Rate | ||
| 2015/16 | 2016/17 | 2017/18 |
(a) Male | £19.55 | £19.02 | £20.67 |
(b) Female | £17.48 | £17.20 | £19.51 |
