HC Deb 10 December 1993 vol 234 cc416-9W
Mr. Vaz

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list for each civil service grade in his Department(a) the total number of people employed (b) the total number of black people and (c) the total number of Asians.

Mr. Aitken

The following table sets out, by grade, the total number of staff serving in my Department and the total number of black and Asian staff who have responded to the Department's ethnic minority origin survey. Response to the survey was voluntary, and where there are fewer than 10 ethnic minority staff listed in a particular grade, for reasons of personal confidentiality it is not our policy to define precise numbers.
