The Commissioner for Public Appointments completes and publishes an annual data survey for all new appointments and reappointments made to boards of public bodies by Government including the overall gender diversity.

Data on the gender diversity of new non-executive appointees to public boards for 2012 to 2015 is published on Gov.uk

(https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/diversity-in-public-appointments).

Data on the gender diversity of non-executive appointees to Defra’s non-Departmental Public Bodies in 2016/17 and 2017/18 is in the table attached.

Data on the gender breakdown of "executive" permanent staff appointments in each of the last five years is not held centrally and can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
