	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2023 answer text <p>We are committed to removing the barriers that prevent women from reaching their full potential. To achieve this, we are supporting legislation that will change the culture of the workplace, and subsequently improve the wellbeing of working women. This includes changes that will: enable more people to request flexible working, extend redundancy protection for those on maternity leave, introduce carer's leave, and strengthen the protections against harassment in the workplace.</p><p>In addition, the Women’s Health Strategy set out the ambition that health conditions and disabilities should not be a barrier to women’s participation in the workplace. In response to this, the Department for Work and Pensions has recently appointed a Menopause Employment Champion. Part of their role will include driving workplace change to realise the full potential of women, businesses, and the economy; by assisting women at any age and career stage to be supported to remain, and thrive, in work.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 21/03/2023 16:53:22 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook

	question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what is their latest assessment of the health of the fishing industry in England.
	tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
	uin	HL6328
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2023 answer text <p>Data from the Seafish annual fleet economic survey shows that in 2021 there were 2,017 fishing vessels in England. This figure is stable year-on-year but represents a 10% decrease on pre-Covid levels (2015-2019 average). The top three species landed, by value, by these vessels were crab, lobster and mackerel with an average Gross Value Added (GVA) of £66,000 per vessel in 2021 (2021 prices). Average GVA contributions per vessel in 2021 differ between vessels which are under 10m (£20,000) and over 10m (£237,000). Around 77% of the English fishing fleet are under 10m.</p><p> </p><p>The average GVA per English vessel was stable year-on-year but saw a 12% real terms reduction compared to pre-Covid levels. This decline was driven by a 19% real terms reduction in average GVA per vessel for the English over 10m fleet, while the under 10m fleet experienced an 7% increase. In 2021, there were 2,683 Full Time Equivalent (FTE) crew members on English fishing vessels. Like the number of vessels in the English fleet, this figure is stable year-on-year but represents a 13% decline on pre-Covid levels. This decline is more significant in the under 10m fleet than the over 10m fleet who saw a reduction in FTE crew members of 32% and 6% respectively.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 22/03/2023 16:26:15 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon
