answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2018 answer text <p>The Government is funding a programme of activity in England to mark this anniversary, under the leadership of the Government Equalities Office. Programme themes include “celebrate”, “inspire” and “remember” to increase national awareness and mark 100 years since women got the right to vote. They also include “educate” to increase young people’s knowledge of UK democracy and its importance, and increase their democratic participation. The final theme is “participate” to aspire to achieve gender parity in local and national politics by the centenary of the Equal Franchise Act by 2028.</p><p>The Cabinet Office is helping to deliver this programme by leading on a number of projects under the “educate” theme. These are aimed at young people aged between 13 and 16 and at tackling barriers to their democratic participation. Planned projects include developing a secondary schools resource, working with the Department for Education, and a scheme to recruit and train youth democracy ambassadors. We are also developing a pack with ideas and materials for parliamentarians to engage young people, particularly those who are disengaged with our democratic processes.</p><p>Within the Cabinet Office we are planning an events programme throughout 2018 to commemorate the centenary and champion equality, helping to ensure we make the Civil Service and Cabinet Office ever more inclusive.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 08/03/2018 16:09:04 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

question text	To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to every Voice Matters: Building a democracy that works for everyone, published by the Government in December 2017, if his Department will take steps to collect official statistics on the registration rates of (a) homeless people, (b) transgender people and (c) Care Home residents.
tabling member constituency	Nottingham North
tabling member printed	Alex Norris
uin	126080
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2018 answer text <p>Electoral statistics published annually by the Office for National Statistics derive from the electoral registers held by Electoral Registration Officers (EROs). The Government does not otherwise collect official statistics on registration. EROs collect data solely for the purposes of registration. There are no gender requirements for registration and it is therefore not possible or appropriate for EROs to collect data on this. Some EROs may collect data on the number of applicants (including homeless people) to register using Declarations of Local Connection and some EROs may have data on care home registrations, but there are no requirements to collect such data.</p><p>The democratic engagement plan published in December 2017 sets out the Government’s commitment to undertake further research into the barriers that could be preventing individuals from these groups from applying to register to vote.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 26/03/2018 15:04:33 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
