answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2017 answer text <p>​It is the responsibility of policy leads to conduct Equality Impact Assessments (EIA) where appropriate and as such there is no central record of the number of assessments made. To provide you with this would require us to gather information from over 200 posts and departments and the cost of doing this would be disproportionate and exceed the appropriate cost limit. Policy leads are however encouraged to engage with the relevant staff support groups early on in policy formation to ensure that no group are disproportionately or disadvantaged. The FCO's Diversity and Inclusion Team provides expert guidance and support, where needed, to ensure EIAs are conducted effectively.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 28/02/2017 15:57:40 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
