answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2018 answer text In March this year, the Government announced its intention to commence Section 36 of the Equality Act 2010 in its response to the Women and Equalities Select Committee report on disability and the built environment. The announcement made clear that further work on identifying and assessing any additional burdens on local authorities is first required before a commencement date can be given. We hope to make an announcement on timing of commencement of Section 36 of the Equality Act 2010 as soon as possible. answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 19/09/2018 08:43:54 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2015 answer text <p><strong></strong></p><p>This government is committed to closing the gender pay gap in a generation by addressing the underlying causes of the gender pay gap, including the gender bonus gap. Our consultation on Closing the Gender Pay Gap closed on 6 September, and received nearly 700 responses. Over 200 employers and business organisations responded, including the CBI, whose members employ around a third of the private sector workforce. We have announced that this will apply to large employers and to large public bodies. We will be working with employers on how this will be implemented as they will be required to publish information showing the differences in pay between men and women.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 28/10/2015 14:28:24 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
