Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many members of his Department's executive board are (a) white British and (b) from any other ethnic background.

I can confirm that the Department does not have information regarding the ethnicity of the Members of Parliament who are on the executive board. As they are non-civil servants, the Department does not request that information from them.

Of the civil servants on the executive board, four have declared their ethnicity as white British.
