Since June 1997 the Ministry of Defence has conducted three equal opportunities surveys: an ethnic origin re-survey of MoD civil servants; a tri-service ethnic origin re-survey; and a survey by disability of MoD civil servants. Ethnicity surveys of MoD civil servants and Armed Forces personnel were previously conducted in 1991 and 1996 respectively. We have also conducted analysis of the age of MoD civil servants in order to inform our review of retirement policy.Bill
