Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what the (a) mean and (b) median pay was for staff in his Department who were (i) male, (ii) female, (iii) white, (iv) from an ethnic minority background, (v) disabled and (vi) non-disabled in the most recent year for which information is available, broken down by (A) full-time and (B) part-time workers.

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes much of this information each year, broken down by Civil Service organization, as part of their annual release of Civil Service Statistics. The latest data set from 2016 can be found on the ONS website: https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/publicsectorpersonnel/bulletins/civilservicestatistics/2016.

As the Department for International Trade (DIT) is newly formed, we have not had the opportunity to contribute to the most recent ONS publication. DIT’s statistics will be included in the next release, due for publication in March 2017.

DIT does not hold information on the breakdowns of ethnicity and disability pay gaps.
