Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate his Department has made of the number of (a) men, (b) women and (c) other gender identities who have made claims under the extended Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme.

HMRC have published statistics on the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS). These include information on the employments supported by the CJRS broken down by the employees’ gender. The statistics can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmrc-coronavirus-covid-19-statistics. The statistics do not show other gender identities because HMRC do not hold that information.

HMRC will publish statistics on the CJRS extension in due course. The date of publication will be pre-announced on GOV.UK. HMRC continue to monitor the use of these statistics and make improvements as necessary.
