Question

Sir John Hayes

Conservative — South Holland and The Deepings

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how much her Department spent on staff training related to diversity and inclusion in 2022.

Answer

The financial information held by the department is limited to customer or supplier. The department spent £1,233,170 with the Civil Service Framework supplier which provides a range of learning and development opportunities. The department is not able to identify how much the department has spent specifically on diversity and inclusion training because our financial reports do not provide course titles.
