The Civil Service spent more than £27million on equality, diversity and inclusion staff and projects in a year.
The first full audit of 'Whitehall wokery' reveals that hundreds of equalities staff are employed by the Government on average salaries of £53,000.
A review of Government departments and quangos showed there are 380 'equality, diversity and inclusion' staff working full-time in the Civil Service, with a salary bill of £20million.
The internal report from the Cabinet Office revealed there were also 570 diversity networks with 2,965 committee members, which cost taxpayers £534,000 in 2022/23.
The £27million figure includes spending on away days and membership of equalities organisations, the research commissioned by the Tories showed.
