The Sunday Telegraph – Civil Service diversity roles scrapped 

Civil service roles dedicated to improving diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI), are to be banned in a new crackdown on Whitehall spending, according to The Sunday Telegraph.

Senior managers will be ordered not to hire staff dedicated to boosting diversity, equality and inclusion. Staff already there whose jobs are focussed only on diversity will be moved to Human Resources teams and given broader job specs, it reports.

Cabinet Office Minister Esther McVey tells the paper she is concerned Whitehall managers are becoming distracted by what she calls “woke hobby horses” rather than delivering their core function.
