Ofcom, the UK Regulator for Telecoms, oversees the General Conditions of Entitlement (GCEs), the rules under which Telecoms companies must operate in the UK. GC 9.6 provides consumer protection in the event of mid-contract variations. Under GC 9.6, providers must give customers notice of contract modifications (e.g. price rises) likely to cause \u2018material detriment\u2019 to them and the right to exit the contract without penalty in response. Ofcom published guidance at the start of this year clarifying these rules and further enabling competition in the market to deliver a choice of competitive tariffs for the consumer in the UK.
Major telecoms companies have also agreed to work with the Government and Ofcom on ways to improve transparency in contracts in line with the principles underpinning the Ofcom guidance. The Government and the Regulator will continue to work with the industry to promote further ways of ensuring that consumers have the best possible information to help them make informed choices about the communications services they purchase.<\/p>"}

As a result of steps already taken by this government, there are now more women in employment than at any previous time. There are now 711,000 more women in employment and 157,000 fewer women unemployed than in May 2010. The proportion of businesses that are led by women is increasing. In 2012, 20% of SMEs were either run by women or by a team that was over 50% female, an increase from 14% in 2008. Unprecedented progress has also been made in equality on company boards, with the latest data showing 22.8% of FTSE 100 Directors are now female, up from 12.5% in February 2011.<\/p>
<\/p>
The government continues to bring forward a range of measures to further improve equality between men and women in the workplace: a new system of shared parental leave will be implemented from April 2015, a significant step towards changing workplace culture; and almost 2m families will benefit from new tax free childcare scheme from autumn 2015, worth up to £2,000 per child.<\/p>

As part of Sport England\u2019s 2012- 17 Youth and Community Strategy it is investing £461 million to get more young people playing sport regularly. Currently over half of all young people (54.5%) play sport once a week and almost a quarter of a million more young people are playing sport today than in 2005 when London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Specific targets for young people have been agreed with each national governing body of sport. Sport England is also running programmes specifically targeting young people including Sportivate which over the last two years has given almost 400,000 young people the opportunity to take up a new sport. Over 2000 satellite clubs have been set up across England to reduce the number of young people who stop playing sport after leaving school.<\/p>"}

Tourism is a devolved matter, and domestic holiday marketing to British residents is carried out by the tourist boards of each constituent part of the United Kingdom. Nevertheless, VisitEngland\u2019s \u2018Holidays at Home are GREAT\u2019 campaigns have also benefited the Devolved Administrations by promoting domestic holidays throughout the United Kingdom, not just in England. The campaign, now in its third year, has received £9.3 million funding from the Government, which has been match-funded by the private sector and other tourism partners. These campaigns have been promoted through various media channels including mainstream terrestrial channels, cinemas and via the web. The first two campaigns generated £380m in extra visitor spend, and the current campaign has been marketed through media channels since 1 April 2014. VisitEngland\u2019s Growing Tourism Locally programme, which received £19.8 million from the Government\u2019s Regional Growth Fund, specifically aims to inspire UK residents to take more holidays in England.<\/p>"}

The Government has accepted that the Equality and Human Rights Commission will not be undertaking further research in the area outlined in the question. However, in their respective statements neither Lord Ahmad nor Helen Grant accepted that such research cannot be done, which is why we are commissioning the feasibility study to which the Noble Lord refers.<\/p>
The key objectives for this study, which form its terms of reference, are to:<\/p>
- Identify and critically assess the key issues which affect the feasibility of quantifying the extent of caste discrimination in Britain, and measuring changes over time;<\/li>
- Identify specific methodological approaches for realistically and feasibly quantifying the scale of caste discrimination in Britain and measuring changes over time;<\/li>
- Appraise the costs and benefits associated with each methodological option.<\/li><\/ul>
