answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>It is important that women and men are recognised and paid equally for doing the same work.

Sport England’s workforce strategy for England, “Working in an Active Nation”, highlights the commitment to achieving higher gender diversity in leadership roles on boards in sport. Furthermore the UK Sport and Sport England Code for Sports Governance, which is mandatory and applies to any organisation seeking funding from Sport England or UK Sport, includes a target of at least 30% gender diversity on boards.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 11/06/2019 16:11:11 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold data on the number of public toilets in England. Whilst the provision of public toilets is a matter for local authorities, we encourage councils to keep these important amenities open. At Budget 2018 the Chancellor announced a 100 per cent business rates relief for public lavatories in England, and the Government will introduce legislation as soon as Parliamentary time allows. In addition the Department recently launched a consultation proposing changes to Building Regulations to create more Changing Places toilets for severely disabled people.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 10/06/2019 16:25:56 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
