Karen Bradley

Table 1 provides information on the proportion of staff within the Home
Department who have been subject to formal disciplinary proceedings in each of
the last 4 financial years (2009-10 to 2012-13) and who were white. It is
planned that information for 2013-14 will be published in January 2015.

It has not been possible to provide information further broken down as white
British staff as historical data is not collated in this way and could only be
provided at disproportionate cost.

Individuals can be dismissed for a variety of reasons (such as conduct,
performance, or attendance). It is not possible to identify those dismissed
following disciplinary proceedings without incurring disproportionate costs.
