Written Question
Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: Senior Civil Servants
Monday 26th October 2020

Asked by: Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many BAME civil servants there are at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office at (1) SCS1, (2) SCS2, (3) SCS3, and (4) SCS4, grade.

Answered by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

As of 30 June 2020, 7.1% of SCS1 and 8.3% of SCS2 civil servants in the FCDO self-identified as BAME. In order to comply with the GDPR and in order to protect the anonymity of individual members of staff, unfortunately we cannot provide percentages for SCS3 and SCS4 civil servants as the actual numbers for staff self-identifying as BAME are fewer than five.
