HC Deb 29 November 1982 vol 33 c1W
Mr. John Townend

asked the Minister for the Civil Service when the report of the pilot ethnic survey of some non-industrial civil servants in Leeds will be published.

Mr. Hayhoe

I am pleased to tell my hon. Friend that volume 1 of a report entitled "Ethnic Monitoring in the Civil Service: A Survey in Leeds" is published today. Copies have been placed in the Library. This volume covers the survey of the ethnic origins of some 3,900 civil servants in Leeds. Of those issued with the questionnaire 92.2 per cent. completed the ethnic origin question. Of those, 2.1 per cent. were from the ethnic minorities.

The results of the job applicant part of the survey, which was undertaken during the period from 1 May to 30 September, will be published as volume 2 early in 1983. The Government will consider further the implications of the survey once the results of the second part of the survey are known.
