To ask the Minister for Women and Equality how many (a) male and (b) female members of staff in the Government Equalities Office were issued with personal digital assistants in each year since 2001; and if she will make a statement. (181370)

I have been asked to reply.

Neither the Government Equalities Office nor its predecessor the Women and Equality Unit have provided any departmental personal digital assistant (PDA) equipment for its members of staff since 2001.
