Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, how much her Department spent on advertising the services provided by the Equality and Human Rights Commission in each year since 2010.

The Equality & Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is an independent body which, among other statutory functions, enforces the Equality Act 2010, encourages good practice in relation to equality and diversity, and monitors the effectiveness of the equality and human rights enactments. My Department promotes the EHRC’s functions where appropriate in the normal course of its own activities but since 2010 has not spent anything on advertising its services.
