Question to the HM Treasury:

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

The Treasury monitors the diversity of its executive board. This information is sensitive personal data and given the small numbers involved we could not disclose the results of our monitoring without infringing the rights of the individuals concerned.

The Treasury has an active diversity agenda and information on the diversity of Treasury’s employees by pay range is published. The most recent information is in the Treasury’s Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14 page 50, available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmt-annual-report.
