Whitehall has been accused of “racist institutional bias” by the civil service’s largest union as it claimed white staff are twice as likely to be promoted than non-white colleagues.
Public and Commercial Services Union general secretary Mark Serwotka said there was not a “plausible alternative” to the figures uncovered.
The paper previously reported that an internal review by the Cabinet Office had found that civil servants who bullied, harassed or racially discriminated against co-workers didn't face disciplinary action, and under a freedom of information request, revealed that over the course of five years, the department had spent almost £300,000 settling cases of race and disability discrimination.
Speaking at the public administration and constitutional affairs committee this month, Mr Chisholm said the department had accepted all of the report's 61 recommendations, but said while there some were "quick wins", implementing others "will take a longer period of time". A source from the department quoted by The Times said it was "urgently reviewing" its contract with the company.
