We are determined to bring an end to this abhorrent practice and, as we said in the LGBT Action Plan, we are considering all legislative and non-legislative options to do this.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise this is a complex issue that we need to get right. We want to engage widely, and listen carefully, so that we can develop a range of measures that end these practices for good. We are conducting more detailed research into the experiences of those that have undergone conversion therapy, and will task the LGBT Advisory Panel with looking into this issue as their first priority when they meet for the first time, in the new year.</p><p> </p><p>Ending these practices will take time. It is crucial we get our response right so that we protect people from harm.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 23/11/2018 13:51:55 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2016 answer text <p>I have considered the analysis undertaken by the Office for National Statistics. The report demonstrates that women carry out an overall average of 60% more unpaid work than men. On average men do 16 hours per week of such unpaid work, which includes adult care and child care, laundry and cleaning, to the 26 hours of unpaid work done by women per week.</p><p> </p><p>This has relevance to our efforts to close the gender pay gap as this may be one of the factors that affects the number of hours that women work which in turn affects the gender pay gap. I am pleased to confirm that the draft regulations, requiring large employers to publish details of their gender pay gap, were laid in the house on Tuesday.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 13/12/2016 16:39:30 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

The provisions in the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 have largely been replicated in the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017.

Both sets of regulations will require the same gender pay gap calculations and use the same methodology for calculating the data.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 14/02/2017 13:46:57 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
