Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people with a disability work in his Department; and if he will make a statement.

Information on the number of staff who have declared themselves as “disabled” is published within the Ministry of Justice’s diversity report, which can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/378112/moj-diversity-data-report-2013-14_.pdf

The data within this report is compiled from staff who have updated their personal diversity data to indicate that they consider themselves to have a disability.

The Ministry of Justice is committed to ensuring that equality of opportunity and diversity is a normal part of everyday business, and that its policies are fair and accessible to all.
