Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the cost to the public purse was of the Civil Service LGBT+ staff network in each year since its creation.

The Civil Service LGBT+ staff network is a volunteer collaborative group of Civil Service staff. The LGBT+ network does not hold a budget, but a department can choose to provide support where there is a business case to do so. We are not aware of any such financial support. There has been no cost to the public purse of the LGBT+ network since 2020. We do not hold any records prior to this date. The LGBT+ network was created in 2003.
