For immediate release
Responding to reports that diversity roles in the civil service are set to be scrapped, Joanna Marchong, investigations campaigns manager of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:
“Taxpayers will be thrilled that ministers are injecting some much needed common sense into Whitehall.
“Creating whole teams devoted to EDI initiatives has been a disaster for the public sector, which has spent vast amounts of money and time on needless navel-gazing, as public services deteriorate.
“Politicians should now crackdown on these redundant roles at all levels of government, not just in the civil service.”
