Question to the Northern Ireland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what funding his Department has allocated to Stonewall in each of the last five years; and for what projects.
The following payments have been made to Stonewall Equality Limited:
2019/20: £0.00
2020/21: £3,000.00
2021/22: £3,000.00
These payments are for the Northern Ireland Office's participation in the Diversity Champions programme run by Stonewall. Participation in the scheme gives the NIO access to training, resources and advice on good practice on inclusivity. The programme also gives us access to the annual Workplace Equality Index run by Stonewall.
