<p>You will recall that I responded to your Question 76548 of 17 November 2021 on
22 November 2021 to advise that it would take time to collate the information required
for a detailed breakdown and, in response to your further Question 84298 of 30 November,
I reiterated that position. I am now able to respond substantively to your Question.</p><p>As
you will know from my answer of 1 November 2021 to Question 61052, no donations are
made to Stonewall. However, the Ministry of Defence (MOD), the three Services, and
the MOD Police, are all members of Stonewall's 'Diversity Champions programme' for
which membership costs an annual fee. In addition, a number of courses and professional
development sessions are purchased on an ad-hoc basis, primarily by the LGBT+ networks.</p><p>
</p><p>I can confirm that all MOD Memberships are reviewed regularly, to ensure that
they deliver value for money and continue to meet our Diversity and Inclusion ambitions
and strategic direction, as set out in the Defence Diversity and Inclusion Strategy,
A Force for Inclusion.</p><p> </p><p>Information held by the MOD is provided in the
table below. You will wish to note that further investigation of expenditure means
that in many cases the estimated figures provided in answer to Question 61052 have
now been revised upwards.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Royal
