§ Mr. Waldegrave[pursuant to his reply 14 April 1993, columns 535–36]: Some of the figures quoted in the answer have been found to be incorrect. The correct information is as follows:
Grade (and equivalents) Women Total Percentage Women 1 0 3 0 2 2 17 12 3 2 24 8 4 0 3 0 5 16 62 26 6 21 64 33 7 61 265 23 Overall 1,287 2,495 52 The ethnic monitoring programme was carried out on a voluntary basis and did not extend to the Cabinet Office's agencies. Of those who responded, 62 people chose to register as non-white. One of these people is at grade 7 level.
The Cabinet Office's figures on staff with disabilities include only those who have chosen to register as disabled. Twenty-eight people are so registered. None is at grade 7 level or above. The Cabinet Office employs other staff with disabilities who have chosen not to register.
