tabling member constituency	Coventry South
tabling member printed	Mr Jim Cunningham
uin	155680
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>A Northwest Runway at Heathrow will improve the UK’s connectivity, with more frequent services to important global destinations benefitting passengers and freight-operators across the UK. While Heathrow expansion will help to secure the UK’s status as a global aviation hub, it will also see airports across the country continuing to develop their point-to-point networks.</p><p> </p><p>The Department’s forecasts show that passenger numbers and international flights at non-London airports are expected to increase by 80 per cent and 71 per cent respectively between 2016 and 2050 with a third runway at Heathrow. The Government recognises that all three expansion schemes in the South East are projected to result in regional airports experiencing lower growth in flights than they would have otherwise seen, but strong growth is still expected at non-London airports relative to today.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/06/2018 11:20:12 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2018 answer text <p>The need to pay men and women equally for the same work has been required by statute for nearly 50 years, and we expect employers in the private sector to comply with equal pay law.</p><p>The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has a Statutory Code of Practice on Equal Pay, and provides extensive advice guidance on its website to ensure employers know what is required to comply with the law. The EHRC and the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas) also provide guidance to help individuals understand their rights and take action if they believe that they are being discriminated against in the pay they receive.</p><p>Employees who are concerned that they may not be being paid fairly can seek authoritative and free advice from Acas, before deciding whether to bring a claim before an Employment Tribunal. Where an employer is found to have breached equal pay law, an Employment Tribunal can order it to carry out an equal pay audit.</p><p>Our requirement for all larger employers to publish their gender pay gap is helping to increase transparency of all the factors underlying the endemic differences in pay between men and women.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/06/2018 12:39:36 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
