answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2015 answer text <p>This is the most gender diverseParliamentin British history – we now have more female MPs than ever before and one third of those attending cabinet are women. However, we know there is more that can be done to increase women’s political representation. Getting more women into public life is vital to effectively represent and govern our country.</p><p>The Equality Act 2010 enables political parties to use positive action, should they wish, to increase participation by under-represented groups.</p><p>We also know that women are under-represented on local councils, making up only 31.7% of members. This is why schemes such as the ‘Be a Councillor Campaign’ run by the Local Government Association to encourage new candidates from all walks of life to come forward and represent their local community, are so important.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 12/11/2015 15:42:12 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	14703
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2015 answer text <p>Prison Service Instruction 07/2011 sets out NOMS policy on the care and management of prisoners who live or propose to live in a gender other than the one assigned at birth. Prisoners are normally placed according to their legally recognised gender. However, the guidelines allow room for discretion and senior prison staff will review the circumstances of every case in consultation with medical and other experts in order to protect the physical and emotional wellbeing of the person concerned along with the safety and wellbeing of other prisoners.</p><br /><p>A review of the current policy on transgender and transsexual prisoners began earlier this year and revised policy guidance will be issued to reflect NOMS' responsibilities to transgender offenders in the community as well as in custody. The intention is to implement the guidance early in the New Year.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 09/11/2015 16:17:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
