Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of firefighters are (a) female, (b) from a black, minority or ethnic background and (c) female and from a black, minority or ethnic background in the most recent period for which figures are available.
Home Office publishes annual figures on fire and rescue service staff diversity by protected characteristics, including gender and ethnicity. These can be found in tables FIRE1103 and FIRE1104, here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/fire-statistics-data-tables#workforce-and-workforce-diversity
These are aggregate data, collected separately for each characteristic, so it is not possible to say how many staff are both female and from a black and minority ethnic background.
