Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the budget for diversity and inclusion (a) advisers and (b) practitioners was in his Department in each financial year since 2019-20.
Diversity and Inclusion Advisers/Practitioners undertake this role on a voluntary basis in addition to their normal duties. Costs incurred in conducting these duties would be small and absorbed within wider Unit budgets. Disaggregating these costs from wider budgets would exceed the cost limit for answering a Parliamentary Question.
