Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether there is an annual survey of staff in the (a) Government Equalities Office and (b) Equality and Human Rights Commission.

The Government Equalities Office take part in the annual Civil Service People Survey within the Department for Education. The Department’s results for 2016 were published on GOV.UK on Tuesday 6 December.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is an independent body and is responsible for its own staff management, including conducting surveys of its staff. I have therefore asked the Chief Executive of the Commission to write to the Hon. Member with the information requested and will place a copy of the letter in the Libraries of both Houses.
