	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The need to pay men and women equally for the same work has been required by statute for nearly 50 years, and we expect employers in the private sector to comply with equal pay law.</p><p>The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has a Statutory Code of Practice on Equal Pay, and provides extensive advice guidance on its website to ensure employers know what is required to comply with the law. The EHRC and the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) also provide guidance to help individuals understand their rights and take action if they believe that they are being discriminated against in the pay they receive.</p><p>Employees who are concerned that they may not be being paid fairly can seek authoritative and free advice from Acas, before deciding whether to bring a claim before an Employment Tribunal. Where an employer is found to have breached equal pay law, an Employment Tribunal can order it to carry out an equal pay audit.</p><p>Our requirement for all larger employers to publish their gender pay gap is helping to increase transparency of all the factors underlying the endemic differences in pay between men and women.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/06/2018 12:39:36 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>Youth unemployment in the UK is at a near record low; 5 per cent of young people aged 16-24 are unemployed and not in full time education. Data from the Office for National Statistics (from the Annual Population Survey) shows that in the year to December 2017 youth unemployment in the West Midlands was 59,300 – down by over 24,000 since 2010 (the year to December 2010). The claimant count for 18-24 year olds in Coventry has also has fallen, by 70 per cent, since 2010 (ONS labour market data).</p><p> </p><p>The Government remains committed to providing targeted support for young people so that everyone, no matter what their start in life, is given the very best chance of getting into work. That is why we offer a range of support to young people to help them prepare for and move into work or an apprenticeship.</p><p> </p><p>In April 2017, we introduced the Youth Obligation Support Programme for young jobseekers, aged 18-21. This programme helps claimants become effective jobseekers from the start of their claim, provides tailored support and access to work-related training, including the offer of a guaranteed work experience placement if they are still unemployed after 6 months. The Programme is being introduced alongside the roll-out of the Universal Credit full service, so is already available in parts of the West Midlands and will be from July 2018 in Coventry.</p><p> </p><p>Young people receive intensive work-focused coaching, from Jobcentre Plus work coaches, and referral to specialist support tailored to their individual needs, drawn from a wide menu of available provision within their local area. This includes skills training, work experience, sector-based work academies, traineeships and other support funded by local authorities, charities and other providers.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/06/2018 15:25:14 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>A Northwest Runway at Heathrow will improve the UK’s connectivity, with more frequent services to important global destinations benefitting passengers and freight-operators across the UK. While Heathrow expansion will help to secure the UK’s status as a global aviation hub, it will also see airports across the country continuing to develop their point-to-point networks.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s forecasts show that passenger numbers and international flights at non-London airports are expected to increase by 80 per cent and 71 per cent respectively between 2016 and 2050 with a third runway at Heathrow. The Government recognises that all three expansion schemes in the South East are projected to result in regional airports experiencing lower growth in flights than they would have otherwise seen, but strong growth is still expected at non-London airports relative to today.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/06/2018 11:20:12 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The reformed GCSEs are a culmination of a programme of curriculum and qualification reforms since 2011, involving consultation with subject experts, higher education institutions and teachers. These qualifications will better prepare students for further study or employment and are in line with standards in other countries with high performing education systems.</p><p>Exams are, by their very nature, stressful but this government has already taken steps to reduce the examination burden upon young people. At GCSE for example, exams are now linear with examinations only taking place at the end of the course of study, giving pupils at least two full years of study to better prepare before they sit external exams. We have also removed the incentives for multiple resits that were not helping children’s education.</p><p>Schools are responsible for preparing all young people for examinations and should have strong pastoral support in place to help pupils deal with any worries they might have throughout the year.</p><p>GCSE grading is a matter for Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation. I have asked its Chief Regulator, Sally Collier, to write directly to the right/hon. Member and a copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 25/06/2018 14:41:23 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
