answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information. BT gainshare/clawback was built into all of the Superfast contracts. This has been re-invested into a number of recent Superfast contracts and change requests. However those contracts and change requests also included a blend of other funding from BDUK, Local Bodies, Suppliers, ERDF and EAFRD. Furthermore in many cases those contracts have consisted of a mixture of Fibre to the Cabinet and Fibre to the Premise. Therefore it is difficult to determine a one to one correlation between clawback and Full Fibre connections.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/01/2019 16:09:25 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>Machinery of Government change in July 2017, through which we took on responsibility for digital policy, marked the start of a period of significant growth for the Department. The changes to workforce structure that resulted from this growth have caused our median gender pay gap to increase, although our individual mean and median gaps for grades D - A (see attached table) indicate that DCMS employees are paid equally for work of equal responsibility. We are committed to reducing our gender pay gap and are taking action to target the causes of our increased median gap.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/01/2019 16:06:36 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James attachment 1 file name Pay.pdf title Pay DCMS
