Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average hourly pay is of employees at each grade within his Department identified as (a) White or White British and (b) from a Black, Asian or other minority ethnic group.

To provide the average hourly pay of each grade broken down in the way requested would incur disproportionate costs. The Ministry of Justice pay landscape is complex involving multiple Terms and Conditions, a regional pay model and multiple working patterns. Providing an answer would require identifying all staff falling into the defined categories to calculate a meaningful average.
