	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2018 answer text <p>We have received a number of representations regarding section 106, as we have for other uncommenced provisions from the Equality Act 2010, and we continue to keep these provisions under review. Equality is never a one-time fix and it is right that we should keep re-examining the issues.</p><p>This Parliament is the most gender and LGBT diverse ever, but there is still more to do. Political parties are responsible for their candidate selection and should lead the way in improving women’s representation. Many are already doing so.</p><p>The Government’s Suffrage Centenary Fund is supporting a number of projects that aim to increase women’s participation in politics, and earlier this year we announced funding for disabled candidates to meet the costs of campaigning, primarily for the forthcoming English local elections in 2019.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 13/11/2018 15:03:07 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2020 answer text <p>The provisions within the Equality Act 2010 protect everyone equally, if they hold a recognised religion or belief or if they have a lack of any such religion or belief. The Act does not list or codify recognised religions or beliefs as this is a matter for the courts. Exceptions in the Act recognise the legitimate requirements of organised religions, such as allowing religions to require that its ministers hold that particular faith. We believe this is an effective legislative approach.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 03/11/2020 17:39:18 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
