answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>In developing all policy related to EU exit, government departments have an ongoing responsibility to meet the Public Sector Equalities Duty under the Equality Act 2010. As such, any policy changes resulting from EU exit will be reviewed to ascertain whether they ​give rise to discrimination on grounds of sex, create equality of opportunity for women or the likelihood of discrimination based on sex, and foster good relations between women and men. The Public Sector Equality Duty will also apply in relation to the other protected characteristics.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/07/2017 15:58:10 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>We have been clear that we want to give citizens and business in the UK and the EU, and from around the world, as much certainty as possible, as early as possible. This is why we want to have reached agreement about our future partnership by the end of March 2019. From that point on, we believe a phased period of implementation, during which time both Britain and the EU Institutions and Member States prepare for the new relationship, will help both sides to minimise unnecessary disruption.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/07/2017 16:17:41 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
