answer text <p>I receive regular representations on many issues including the role of women in public life.</p><p>We are removing barriers that prevent women from progressing in public life. For example, the Government has established the Centre for Public Appointments (CPA) in the Cabinet Office to ensure best practice is followed. As a result, the proportion of new female appointees to public boards has increased to 39%. We have also supported political parties to increase women’s representation thorough a combination of legislative and voluntary measures.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The remit of the Groceries Code Adjudicator (GCA) stems from the Competition Commission Report of 2008 which found evidence that the large supermarkets were using their buying power unfairly against their direct suppliers.</p><p> </p><p>The Groceries Supply Code of Practice was introduced in 2009 as a voluntary measure to deal specifically with this issue. In 2013 the GCA was introduced to give legal underpinning to the Code.</p><p> </p><p>Changes to the GCA remit require changes to the 2013 Act. It is the responsibility of the Secretary of State for the Department for Business, Innovation &amp; Skills to decide if this is necessary.</p><p> </p><p>The Government takes this issue very seriously. Included in the 2013 Act is a legal requirement to review the GCA. The first Review is in 2016. This will give us the opportunity to consider further the scope of the GCA.</p> more like this
