§ Mr. StringerI have today published a research report by the Institute for Employment Studies on Equality Proofing of Performance Review in the civil service.
The research was commissioned across 13 representative civil service Departments and Agencies last autumn following concerns about imbalances in performance markings between different groups of staff. This study, and the action to be taken as a result, further underlines the commitment of the civil service to make real progress on diversity.
I have placed copies of the IES report in the Libraries of the House.
