Labour has accused Liz Truss of setting an “appalling standard” on equality in government after it emerged that of more than 250 trade advisers she has appointed, fewer than a quarter are women and 95% are white.
The analysis comes before Truss, who is the minister for women and equalities as well as the international trade secretary, announced a shift in government equality priorities away from gender and race.
In the speech on Thursday afternoon, Truss said the debate on equality had been “dominated by a small number of unrepresentative voices, and by those who believe people are defined by their protected characteristic.”
