§ Mr. JannerTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many of the officers of his Department in each grade from 1 to 7 are(a) women and (b) members of ethnic minorities; and what proportion each such figure represents of the total numbers of officers at that grade.
§ Mr. Douglas HoggAccording to the latest available figures, in the unified grades 1 to 7 there are two women at grade 3, 15 at grade 5, three at grade 6 and 73 at grade 7. The proportions in each grade were provided in my earlier reply of 20 April. There are in addition 33 women in grades equivalent to grades 1 to 7.
In the unified grades nine members of staff in grades 6 and 7 described themselves as of ethnic minority origin. This represents 2 per cent. of respondents to staff surveys in these grades. Twenty-seven senior medical offices and 701W medical officers who are in grades equivalent to grades 5 and 6 described themselves as of ethnic minority origin. This represents 30 per cent. of respondents in these grades.
