This approach reflects the government’s commitment to fairness as well as to our legal obligations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government has taken concrete actions to improve the position of women in the economy. 58 per cent of the 3.4 million individuals lifted out of income tax as a result of this Government’s policies are women. The Government is also providing help with childcare costs, including introducing tax-free childcare. However, as many policies impact on households containing both women and men it is often difficult to isolate the policy effects on women without making arbitrary assumptions about how incomes are shared within households.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel question first answered 15/12/2014 17:00:15 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2014 answer text <p>We have not received reports of anyone facing arrest for identifying themselves as Rohingya in Burma’s census; the enumeration period is now over. However, we were deeply disappointed that during the census the Burmese government went against its long-standing assurance that all individuals would have the right to self-identify their ethnic origin. We have been clear that this decision is in contravention of international norms and standards on census conduct. I discussed our concerns on the census with the senior Burmese minister responsible, Immigration Minister U Khin Yi, in March, and summoned the Burmese Ambassador in April. <br> <br>The UK, UN and other donors have been in dialogue with the Burmese government and community groups throughout the preparation, enumeration and now the data analysis and dissemination stages of the census. We have been absolutely clear that we want to see as peaceful, credible and complete a process as possible, with the anticipated risks carefully managed.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 21/07/2014 14:21:51 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
