§ Mr. BaldryTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many women there are in his Department in the top three senior management grades; and what these figures were 10 years ago. [121775]
§ Mr. HainAs at 1 April 2000 there were eight women at JESP 13 and above, which equates to Grades 1-3, the top three senior management grades.
In 1990, the Department did not record the gender of those in the most senior grades. Figures for 1990 could therefore only be provided at disproportionate cost.
