Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many members of staff in her Department have equality, diversity or inclusion in their job title.

The Department is committed to diversity and inclusion and has a central Wellbeing, Inclusion, Safety and Health team which sits within the corporate HR function. Because of the cross-cutting nature of the team’s work it is not possible to split the numbers by diversity or inclusion alone.

In addition, there will be many colleagues throughout the Department involved in diversity and inclusion related activity, in both a formal and informal capacity.

Unfortunately, this information is not held centrally and would only be available at a disproportionate cost.
