answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2016 answer text <p>The Government takes all forms of hate crime seriously. Crime that is motivated by hostility towards some fundamental part of a person’s identity is particularly corrosive and can have devastating consequences for victims and their families. We are committed to working with communities in order to keep them safe.</p><p>The number of recorded disability hate crimes rose by 44% between 2014/15 and 2015/16. There are a number of factors behind this rise, including increased reporting of disability hate crime and improved recording of such crimes by the police. We welcome these changes.</p><p>The new cross-Government Hate Crime Action Plan published on 26 July includes specific actions on disability hate crime. These include looking at current best practice in tackling disability hate crime and working with partner organisations and the police to promote safety for disabled people, making better use of third party reporting centres and raising awareness of hate crime among carers and families of disabled people to encourage reporting.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 09/12/2016 17:23:04 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2016 answer text <p>Rape and sexual violence are devastating crimes and the Government is committed to ensuring that every victim has access to the specialist support they need, and that everything is done to bring offenders to justice. We want every report of rape to be treated seriously from the point of disclosure, every victim to be treated with dignity and every investigation and every prosecution to be conducted thoroughly and professionally to give victims the confidence to report these crimes, no matter what the circumstances or where they took place. The National Crime Agency has issued advice, in partnership with the voluntary sector, on keeping safe when dating online which makes it clear that responsibility for rape and sexual violence always unequivocally rests with the perpetrator of these crimes. This is to make people aware of the potential dangers, so they can be better prepared and make the choices that are right for them. Advice on personal safety when dating online is also available at https://www.getsafeonline.org/social-networking/online-dating/</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 09/12/2016 17:24:36 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2016 answer text <p>I have considered the analysis undertaken by the Office for National Statistics. The report demonstrates that women carry out an overall average of 60% more unpaid work than men. On average men do 16 hours per week of such unpaid work, which includes adult care and child care, laundry and cleaning, to the 26 hours of unpaid work done by women per week.</p><p> </p><p>This has relevance to our efforts to close the gender pay gap as this may be one of the factors that affects the number of hours that women work which in turn affects the gender pay gap. I am pleased to confirm that the draft regulations, requiring large employers to publish details of their gender pay gap, were laid in the house on Tuesday.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 13/12/2016 16:39:30 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
