Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 16 January 2025 to Question 21390 on Armed Forces: Equality, whether the previous Government commissioned a review into equality, diversity and inclusion (a) policies and (b) spending in the armed forces that was separate to the review into the civil service.

Answer

In February 2024 the previous Government commissioned a review into equality, diversity and inclusion policies in the Armed Forces. This review did not extend to equality, diversity and inclusion spending in the Armed Forces, and was separate to the review into the Civil Service. Following the change in Government, staffing of this work to Ministers was paused, and the review was not published.
