answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017 came into force on 31 March 2017 and requires specified employers in the public sector to publish their gender pay gap data by 30 March 2018. These regulations work alongside those regulations that apply to employers in the private and voluntary sectors, ensuring that large employers from all sectors will need to publish their data on an annual basis.</p><p>The Department for Education was the first Government Department to publish its gender pay gap. The Department is committed to reducing its pay gap and has introduced a range of initiatives to support women in the workplace. More broadly, recently published data from the Office of National Statistics shows that the gender pay gap across the Civil Service has fallen from 13.6% in 2016 to 12.7% in 2017.</p><p>We are talking to employers in the public sector to encourage early reporting and to take action to close any gender pay differences identified.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 21/07/2017 13:46:47 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>A number of Equality and Human Rights Commissioner appointments, including to the role of Disability Commissioner, were advertised between September and November 2016. The role of Disability Commissioner was not a statutory post but rather, a role created by the Commission. Commissioners filling that role customarily chaired the Commission’s statutory Disability Committee as a key element of their duties. The Equality and Human Rights Commission is an independent body and decisions about the roles and responsibilities of Board members are a matter for the Commission itself. Following an Order - The Equality Act 2006 (dissolution of the Disability Committee) Order 2014 SI No. 406 - which came into force on 01 April 2014, the statutory Disability Committee was dissolved on 31 March 2017, before the appointment of any new Commissioners could be made, and no candidate for the advertised appointments was specifically offered the role of Disability Commissioner.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 20/07/2017 16:27:43 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
