Question

Sir John Hayes

Conservative — South Holland and The Deepings

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much his Department spent on staff training related to diversity and inclusion in 2022.

Answer

Damian Hinds

All MoJ Civil Servants have the opportunity to complete the free, central Civil Service Expectations online training.

To provide a fuller response, Ministry of Justice officials would need to ascertain the facts in relation to all teams with the ability to procure training, which could only be done at disproportionate cost to the department. To reach a factual conclusion each individual or team’s learning would need to be collated and investigated to identify and extract all information pertaining to D&I learning. Therefore, the complexity and scale of our operations, retrieving the data on the exact amount spent on diversity and inclusion training would require significant resources and time, which would result in a disproportionate cost.
