answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government’s Action Plan commitment to keep the provision of remedy under review reflects the importance we attach to this pillar of the UN Guiding Principles. We will continue to monitor the provision of both judicial and non-judicial mechanisms, including as part of our review of the Action Plan in 2015.</p><p>The UN Guiding Principles are a voluntary framework, but we have been ready to back these up with specific measures, including regulatory measures, where necessary. Examples of this are the amendment to the Companies Act, introduced on 1 October 2013, which requires Listed Companies to report on their human rights impacts and which will be strengthened further in 2016, and the Modern Slavery Bill, which includes provisions for greater transparency in supply chains.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 03/12/2014 17:44:07 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2014 answer text We are committed to reviewing our Action Plan in 2015. We will use a cross-Government approach, as we did when developing the National Action Plan, to reflect the fact that business and human rights runs across a broad range of Government activities and responsibilities. A cross-Government Steering Group, led by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and the department for Business Innovation and Skills, and including around 10 other government departments, oversees delivery of the Action Plan. A detailed implementation plan sets out the action needed to deliver against each of the Action Plan commitments, and the departments responsible for taking this forward. This provides a mechanism for ensuring that all Whitehall departments understand their roles in delivering the Action Plan, and for monitoring progress and holding departments to account. We are committed to reporting on progress in the FCO’s Annual Human Rights and Democracy Report. We are working with business and civil society to ensure that the Action Plan delivers real impacts and contributes to preventing human rights abuses by companies wherever they operate, or providing remedy when they occur. We will continue to consult and collaborate with key stakeholders in monitoring delivery of this plan and helping to refresh and update it in future. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 03/12/2014 16:11:07 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
