answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>It is important that the boardroom reflects modern Britain. Companies will do better if they make better use of the talent available and ensure their boardrooms reflect their workforces and wider society.</p><p>That is why Government fully supports the principle of achieving gender-balanced boards at our largest companies through a business-led, voluntary approach. This approach has worked, we have seen the proportion of women on FTSE 350 boards increase from 9.5% to 27.5% and we are down to only 6 all-male boards from a starting point of 152 in 2011.</p><p>We are actively supporting the work of the Hampton-Alexander Review and its business-led target of 33% women on FTSE 350 boards by 2020. I am optimistic that with strong leadership from business we will continue to see real progress in improving diversity and business will meet the new 33% target that they have been set.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 20/07/2017 16:29:07 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
