uin	109708
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2017 answer text <p>The position of ‘Disability Commissioner’ was not a statutory one, and there was no requirement for the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) to put proposals about discontinuing it to Ministers. Following a period of consideration and discussion and the winding up of the statutory Disability Committee on 31 March 2017 under the Equality Act 2006 (Dissolution of the Disability Committee) Order 2014 (SI No.406), the Board of the EHRC decided to abolish the role of ‘Disability Commissioner’ at its meeting on 11 May 2017. We will, however, ensure that disabled people continue to be represented on the EHRC.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 03/11/2017 12:08:15 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

tabling member constituency	Cardiff Central
tabling member printed	Jo Stevens
uin	107430
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2017 answer text <p>Under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED), at Section 149 of the Equality Act 2010, all Government Departments are required to consider the potential impact of key decisions on groups with protected characteristics and keep a record of their decision-making process. The scope and nature of the analysis undertaken can vary considerably depending on the decision in question and the extent to which equalities considerations are relevant.</p><p>Public bodies have flexibility in how they document their analysis under the PSED and are not explicitly required under the legislation to produce an Equality Impact Assessment (EIA). The evidence which Departments can use to demonstrate their compliance under the PSED could, for example, include meeting notes and advice in Ministerial submissions.</p><p>The Government Equalities Office does not, therefore, keep a central record of how many EIAs are completed by all Departments as a simple tally of how many EIAs have been produced would not reflect the full extent to which equalities have been considered across the board.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 17/10/2017 16:44:09 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
