Ministry of Defence: Stonewall
(asked on 22nd October 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what funds have been paid by his Department to Stonewall in each of the last five years; and to what projects those funds were allocated.
No donations are made to the charity; however, the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the MOD Police, the Royal Navy, Army, and Royal Air Force are all members of Stonewall's 'diversity champions programme' for which membership costs an annual fee. In addition, a number of courses and professional development sessions are purchased on an ad-hoc basis, primarily by the LGBT+ networks.
Estimated total expenditure by the MOD can be found in the table below:
Financial year | Total |
2017/18 | £23,181 |
2018/19 | £15,150 |
2019/20 | £11,790 |
2020/21 | £18,691 |
2021/22 (to date) | £11,500 |
