Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps the Equality and Human Rights Commission is taking to support staff who are facing compulsory redundancy to seek new roles within the civil service.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is an independent body and makes its own decisions about staff deployment and redundancies. I have therefore asked the Chief Executive of the Commission to write to the honourable member with the information requested. I will place a copy of the letter in the libraries of both Houses.
