Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, how many and what proportion of (a) directors or senior managers and (b) trustees of the National portfolio organisations for 2015-18 are of BAME background.

Of the 670 successful organisations for the National Portfolio 2015-18, 11.7% of management staff confirmed in their applications that they were from a BAME background. Information of this nature on trustees is not requested as part of the NPO applications but ACE are looking at this for future applications.
