Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 27 December 2024 to Question 19469 on Home Office: Equality and with reference to the Civil Service Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Expenditure Guidance, published on 14 May 2024, if she will remove all stand-alone equality, diversity and inclusion roles.

There are no standalone roles related to equality, diversity and inclusion outside of the Home Office HR Function, and those that do function are focused on discharging the Departments statutory obligations under the Equality Act 2010. This is in line with the stipulations in Paragraph 18c of the guidance to which the Hon member’s question refers.
