answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>No legislative quotas have existed for women on UK boards since 2010. The Government is strongly committed to increasing the number of women on public and private sector boards and believes that the most effective way of effecting this change is through a voluntary approach, including non-legislative targets.

Employment Tribunal judgments have, over time, clarified the position on what constitutes “work” in connection with sleeping time and therefore when the NMW is payable for sleep-in shifts. Government guidance issued in February 2015 included clarification from those judgments. Ministers from BEIS and the Department of Health most recently wrote to Local Authorities on 27 October 2017 regarding payment of NMW or NLW for sleep-in shifts to ensure clarity on those rules.</p><p>The Government recognises that the cumulative financial liability of penalties and arrears of wages associated with “sleep in” shifts could pose challenges to some providers in the social care sector. It is exploring options to minimise any impact on the sector and has opened discussions with the European Commission. It also introduced the interim Social Care Compliance Scheme (SCCS) on 1 November, which gives providers in the sector 12 months in which to conduct a self-review of any arrears and then up to three months in which to re-pay workers.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley grouped question UIN HL4101 HL4102 question first answered 18/12/2017 16:59:09 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley
