	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>Data on court sitting days is not routinely collected. Judge sitting days is the closest proxy we have to court sitting days for most jurisdictions. The official statistics for judge sitting days (tables 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3 of the Civil Justice Statistics Quarterly, January to March 2019) were withdrawn on 5 September 2019, due to data discrepancies that were discovered after publication on 6 June 2019 and deemed potentially misleading to users. The data under investigation covers the period 2003 to 2018 and advise not using the earlier editions of these figures.</p><p>These discrepancies remain under investigation and, in line with the Code of Practice on Statistics, the Chief Statistician and Head of Profession decided to withdraw these tables until the investigations were complete as is normal practice. The revised figures will be published in due course, and will provide the total sitting days in Family, Civil and Crown courts.</p><p>Given that we are most of the way through 2019, to provide a forecast for 2019 would pre-empt the publication of Official Statistics. The actual judge sitting days for 2019 will be published in summer 2020 as is usual practice.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 05/11/2019 17:23:06 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

Every year International Men’s Day offers an opportunity to highlight how outcomes for men and boys can be improved and to talk about some of the important work going on every day across Government to do this.</p><p> </p><p>Gender equality is a top development priority, and a top priority for the UK – but it will not be achieved without engaging men and boys. Too often men and boys are invisible in work towards gender equality, or portrayed as perpetrators, when they can be powerful advocates for positive change and survivors of violence themselves.</p><p> </p><p>DFID recognises that harmful social norms are the root cause of many of the challenges faced by girls and women, boys and men. In Pakistan, DFID programming saw levels of corporal punishment experienced by boys decrease by 26%. There were also improvements in gender-equitable attitudes and depression, and reduced reports of witnessing domestic violence.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 05/11/2019 17:27:29 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
