Yes, employees are represented on the Department\u2019s board. The Permanent Secretary is a standing member of the Departmental Board, and meets with the Departmental Trade Unions as staff representatives.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

There are several other ways in which the views of employees of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy are currently already taken into account by the Departmental Board and its supporting committees.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The Board regularly discusses staff related matters, such as the Civil Service People Survey results which reflect the views of the Department\u2019s employees, including views on the transition programme to create a new Department.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The Department\u2019s governance structure includes a People and Operations Committee, chaired by the Directors General responsible for People, Corporate Services and the transition programme. This Committee has standing representation from the HR Director and staff diversity networks as full members. Recommendations from the Committee are routinely taken to the Department\u2019s Executive Committee for endorsement and approval.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The composition of the Departmental Board is determined by Cabinet Office and HMT\u2019s Corporate Governance in Central Government Departments: Code of Good practice<\/em> (2011). Cabinet Office and HMT are currently in the process of refreshing this guidance to reflect current best practice.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The Board also has external Non-Executive Board Members (NEBMs) as standing members. NEBMs provide external challenge and scrutiny and offer wider stakeholder views to the Board.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

A New Productivity Fund (NPIF) announced in the Autumn Statement will provide for £23 billion of spending between 2017-18 and 2021-22.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

Through the NPIF the government will fund the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund. The fund will cover a broad range of technologies, to be decided by an evidence-based process. It will be delivered by Innovate UK and the Research Councils, and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) when it is established.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/ins><\/p>

We will begin to identify different challenge areas between now and the Budget in 2017. More detail on funding breakdown and proposals will be set out in due course.<\/ins><\/p>

In 2015 the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) offered a hardship fund to help farmers with delayed payments and in financial need.<\/p>

<\/p>

For 2016, the RPA began making Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments when the payment window opened on 1 December. On 13 December the Agency announced that it had made payments, worth £88<\/del>22<\/ins> million, to approximately 68% (around 59,000) of eligible claimants with a range of claim types and sizes, including those inspected and with common land. The RPA remains focused on paying 90% of eligible claims by the end of the month.<\/p>

<\/p>

The RPA is working with a range of farming help organisations such as the Farming Community Network and the Citizens\u2019 Advice Bureau. Should the RPA need to make use of BPS Financial Support Payments to deal with hardship cases it will do so.<\/p>

The Department does not generally make an assessment of the causes of individual operational incidents. Network Rail, as the infrastructure provider, is best placed to do this. I am aware, however, that on this occasion the problems were caused by two power surges from the National Grid<\/del> a failure of the power <\/ins>supply to the signalling centre in Basingstoke that damaged the signalling equipment which had to be repaired and reset.<\/p>

Data on reports of pension scams is collected via Action Fraud. However, the government, working with the City of London Police and other partners as part of Project Bloom, is aware that many scams in the UK, and the true extent of associated losses, go un-reported. The true extent of losses may also only become apparent some time after the initial report and increases in fraud reports could be due to a number of factors, for example increased industry reporting or rising awareness amongst the public due to high profile information campaigns.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The Government takes the issue of pension scams very seriously, which is why, on 5 December 2016 we launched a public consultation on a package of measures aimed at tackling pension scams. This included a proposed definition of pension fraud to allow better monitoring and data collection on pension scams.<\/del><\/p>

<\/p>

The Government will continue to work closely with the City of London Police and other Project Bloom partners to help local forces and other agencies raise awareness on pension scams and encourage more people to report scamming activity and losses.<\/del><\/p>

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is the regulator for the public sector equality duty set out in section 149 of the Equality Act 2010. The Commission uses a range of levers to ensure local authorities and other public bodies comply with the requirements of the duty, from provision of guidance through to enforcement activity where it considers there to be a strategic benefit.<\/del><\/p>

In light of the Brighton University report highlighted by the Honourable Member, the Commission will be writing to the Local Government Association (LGA) drawing its attention to the findings of the research and of the Commission\u2019s evidence of the key equality challenges facing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and asking the LGA to remind local authorities of their legal obligations under the public sector equality duty.<\/del><\/p>

It also aims to help service providers comply with the law.<\/ins><\/p>
