answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>The Department published its first gender pay gap report in December based on those staff on our payroll as at 31 March 2017. The report identified a mean pay gap in favour of men of 15.26%, and a median pay gap of 8.91% in favour of men.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>At the time of DExEU’s gender pay gap report, women being overrepresented in more junior grades and underrepresented in more senior grades was a significant contributory factor in reporting DExEU’s gender pay gap. This is an issue that we are committed to addressing both through our recruitment practices and the use of cross government talent management schemes.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>As a relatively new department, we had not paid any bonuses as at 31 March 2017. The department has now developed and implemented a reward and recognition policy so we will be able to report on this in future years. The policy puts equal opportunities at the forefront of all reward decisions alongside a mechanism to ensure consistency and fairness.</p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 16/04/2018 10:53:48 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker

uin	134651
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>As stated in the answer to Quesion PQ UIN 132538 on 22 March 2018, and Question UIN 133274 on 26 March 2018, the Department does not publish this information, because it quickly falls out of date. This is due to operational reasons, as the 167 local authorities that have made relevant sales since 2012 have to estimate the amounts due, which are then made more accurate as a result of periodic review and reconciliation exercises. Since local authorities regularly review their data under the scrutiny of their external auditors, it is not possible to fix a deadline after which we can be confident that no figures will change.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 16/04/2018 15:29:03 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

uin	134655
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>The current historic EU quota shares, fixed through the principle of “Relative Stability”, are unfair to the UK fleet for many stocks. EU vessels currently catch around 700,000 tonnes of fish from UK waters each year. The UK fleet only catches about 100,000 tonnes of fish in EU waters each year. After the end of the Implementation Period, the UK will diverge from the existing allocation methodology for Total Allowable Catches (TACs) and seek a more equitable arrangement as a condition of future access to UK waters.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently giving detailed consideration to fairer allocation methodologies for Total Allowable Catches in future international negotiations. After March 2019, the UK will also join Regional Fisheries Management Organisations such as the North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission in preparation for the UK regaining its seat in international fisheries negotiations from the autumn of 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/04/2018 11:49:44 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
