Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many and what proportion of staff working in each decile of the London Grade 7 pay range are (a) women, (b) men, (c) BAME, and (d) white.
As of 30 June 2020, the Department employed 491 substantive officials on the London G7 pay range, of which 246 (50 per cent) were in receipt of the pay range minimum and accounted for all officials in deciles one to five of the pay range. Similarly, 45 (9 per cent) of officials on the London G7 pay range accounted for almost all (92 per cent) of officials in the tenth decile.
Providing information for deciles six to nine, for the 200 officials in receipt of pay between the minimum and maximum of the pay range, is not suitable for release owing to the small numbers concerned when presented in the format requested.
