HC Deb 05 March 1996 vol 273 c111W
Mr. Nigel Evans

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what proportion of staff employed in the home civil service are(a) women, (b) people of ethnic minority origin and (c) disabled people. [19445]

Mr. Freeman

I have published today the second in a series of annual data summaries on equal opportunities in the civil service. The Government are committed to equality of opportunity for all people. Figures show improvements in the representation of women and members of ethnic minorities and, for the first time, include information on registered and non-registered disabled staff. Copies of the data summary have been placed in the Libraries of the House.
