answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2024 answer text <p>Under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) the FCDO is required to pay due regard to the need to: eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between different people when carrying out their activities. Equality Impact Assessments (EIAs) are one of the tools used to assess whether a new policy or change to existing policy is likely to have a disproportionate impact on those with protected characteristics as defined in the 2010 Equality Act. The FCDO does not centrally monitor how many EIAs are completed, therefore no information is held on this question.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 23/01/2024 12:40:36 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2024 answer text <p>Following the publication of the annual <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/nationality-at-point-of-national-insurance-number-registration-of-dwp-working-age-benefit-recipients-data-to-november-2020" target="_blank">Nationality at point of National Insurance number registration of DWP working age benefit recipients</a> statistics in August 2021, the Department announced in 2022 that it would be ceasing publication of these statistics. This was due to an assessment that concluded these statistics no longer met the purpose for which they were created. The information contained in the release reflected the nationality status of the benefit claimants at the point of National Insurance number (NINo) registration, which does not necessarily reflect the nationality at the point of claiming the benefit, as the allocation of a NINo can be made many years, or even decades, before an individual claims a benefit. Therefore, claimants who have since obtained British citizenship could still have been counted in those statistics as non-UK nationals.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 17/01/2024 16:40:06 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
