answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>The Government does not believe it is necessary to re-enact S.40. The provisions at S.40(2) of the Equality Act 2010 (the Act), which dealt with third party harassment, were repealed in 2013, as part of the Coalition Government’s ‘Red Tape Challenge’, because they were unnecessary, confusing and little used. Anyone wishing to bring a claim of harassment at work, including by a third party, should be able to do so using the provisions under S.26 of the Act together with the specific prohibitions on harassment in the Act, such as those in Part 5, which cover employment. <br> <br>The Government condemns all forms of harassment and this is why the Prime Minister has committed to reviewing non-disclosure agreements, and any evidence suggesting they are being used improperly.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 06/02/2018 11:32:49 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2018 answer text <p>This Government strongly supports gender equality and condemns discrimination on the grounds of gender. That is why we are committed to review non-disclosure agreements and any evidence that is coming forward about how they are being used. The Government will also be publishing guidance on employee dress codes, so that employers and employees are aware of how these may constitute discrimination or lead to harassment in the workplace.</p><p>We are also committed to increasing diversity on FTSE boards and in senior executive roles. There is a higher percentage of women on company boards than ever before – more than doubling in the last six years. However, we need to maintain momentum and that is why we are supporting the work of the business led, Hampton-Alexander Review and their voluntary targets for 33% FTSE 350 board directors and senior executives to be women by 2020.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 06/02/2018 17:51:53 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
