answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2018 answer text <p>Paying men and women unequally for the same work has been unlawful for nearly 50 years. Employees who are concerned that they may not be being paid fairly can seek authoritative and free advice from the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (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 them to carry out an equal pay audit. Our requirement for all larger employers to publish their gender pay gap will help increase transparency of all the factors underlying the endemic differences in pay between men and women.<strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 18/04/2018 10:29:43 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2018 answer text <p>It is for admissions authorities in England to decide whether to give priority to siblings in their admissions arrangements, where the school is oversubscribed, and many schools do choose to do this. The Department expects schools to balance prioritising siblings with ensuring places are also available for other local children who do not have a sibling at the school.</p><p>The Deparment routinely reviews the English school admissions system and seeks regular feedback from stakeholders. Any changes to the School Admissions Code will require a full statutory process, including consultation and parliamentary scrutiny.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 19/04/2018 13:11:56 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
