Question to the Department for Transport:

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

There are 17 executive and non-executive members of the Department’s executive board and we are not aware of any who have declared themselves to be from any other ethnic background.

All Civil Servants are encouraged to declare their protected characteristics on the department’s database. This information is only accessed for statistical purposes and cannot be accessed on an individual basis. Other members of the Board are not required to declare their protected characteristics.
