Justice written question – answered at on 3 March 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice what proportion of civil servants in his Department who were promoted in each of the last five years were identified as (a) white British and (b) from any other ethnic minority group.
The recently published Ministry of Justice Diversity Data Report, 2012-13, included data on promotions for the first time, with comparative data in relation to a number of protected characteristics in annexed tables.
These data cover MOJ HQ, National Offender Management Service (NOMS), HM Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) and the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG).
The Ministry of Justice does not however hold this information for 2008-09, 2009-10 or 2010-11 centrally as it is not available from the MOJ's legacy HR database.
The comparative data in the report combine all the white sub-categories (white British, white other, white Irish, white English, white Welsh, white Scottish) and the following table, which shows the proportion of staff promoted who have declared their ethnicity as white or non white, reflects this. The proportion of staff who have not declared their ethnicity status is also included.

2011-12 | 2012-13 | |
White | 71 | 65 |
Non-white | 15 | 17 |
Undeclared | 14 | 18 |
The calculation is the number of declared non-white staff promoted as a proportion of all staff promoted in the period.
The Ministry of Justice and its agencies are committed to ensuring that equality of opportunity and diversity is a normal part of everyday business, and that its policies are fair and accessible to all.
