answer text <p>We will keep section 106 under review, as we do with other uncommenced provisions in the Equality Act 2010. The government can play a role in supporting political parties to take action, but ultimately it is for parties to ensure that they select a diverse range of candidates and they should lead the way in improving diverse representation.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Section 124 (3)(b) of the Equality Act 2010 was repealed in the Deregulation Act 2015. Following consultation in 2013, the Government decided that wider recommendations by tribunals, which were not mandatory on employers, did not serve any useful purpose, yet created a perception of burden and unfairness for business - the estimated cost of making wider recommendations to employers who did implement them was about £2000.</p><p /> <p>Tribunals already had and continue to have the power to make critical observations about an employer’s processes and procedures. We have no plans to reinstate Section 124(3)(b) of the Act.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Section 138 of the Equality Act 2010 was repealed in the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013. The government has no plans to reinstate these provisions. Employees can still put questions to their employer or former employer concerning a claim under the Act if they wish. A Court or Tribunal may consider any relevant questions and answers as part of the evidence of the case, and may draw inferences if questions are not answered. At the time of the repeal ACAS produced a good practice guide with advice on how to do this, which can be found here: <a href="https://archive.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=4971" target="_blank">https://archive.acas.org.uk/index.aspx?articleid=4971</a></p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Successive British Governments have not implemented the socio-economic duty for English and cross-border bodies, and the current Government has no plans to do so. Such a general duty has the potential to become a tick-box exercise complied with to minimise the risk of legal challenge rather than to promote real change in social mobility.</p><p> </p> more like this
