Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how many members of her Department's executive board are disabled.

My current Departmental Board is made up of nine executive members & one non-executive member. Of the nine executive members eight are male and the remaining one is female. The one non-executive member is female.

My Department does not keep ethnic background or disability information for its executive board members who are all civil servants. However, I can inform you that the Department’s non-executive board member has indicated ‘white’ as their ethnicity.
