§ Mrs MahonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the total number of employees in his Departments; and how many are(a) black and (b) disabled.
§ Mr. MaplesThe total number of employees in the Chancellor's departments at 1 October 1991 was 110,593.5.
Departments collated their ethnic minority and disability figures at different times within the past 12 months. The combined totals are 5,611 from ethnic minority backgrounds and 1,7895 registered disabled workers.
These figures include part-timers as 0.5.
Some departments do not hold central records of the ethnic origin or disability of industrial staff. The response rate to ethnic origin questionnaires varies from 57 to 97.5 per cent. of staff. Some disabled people choose not to register as disabled.
