The learning is free at the point of use, so there is no associated per-person cost for this training to be carried out. The MOD contributes to the funding of Civil Service HR, including Civil Service Learning annually, therefore it is not possible to disaggregate the cost of Unconscious Bias training from the wider budget.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 15/09/2020 08:58:05 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
