Answer
The Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) is allocated an overall annual budget, which is £19.3m in the current financial year. Funding for EHRC’s staffing is included within that budget and decisions on staffing requirements are matters for the EHRC as an independent public body. We intend to carry out a review of the EHRC in 2018 as part of the standard “tailored review” programme for public bodies, and governance and funding are among the issues which we expect this review to cover.
