Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many civilian staff within Defence Intelligence are (a) men, (b) women and (c) from black and minority ethnic groups.
This question was answered on 2nd November 2016
The Defence Intelligence civilian workforce has some 1,425 people, comprising 915 men (64%) and 510 women (36%).
Recording ethnicity across the Department is voluntary and within Defence Intelligence about 255 (some 18%) of civilian staff chose not to declare if they were from a BAME background. Those who declared as BAME number some 60, or about 5%. This compares favourably to the wider MOD figure of some 4%.
