answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>Mexico faces significant threats from the full spectrum of serious and organised crime. Violence and insecurity stemming from this criminal activity, exacerbated by chronic corruption and impunity, is a huge and growing problem – with 2017 set to become the most violent year since records began in the 1990s. The Foreign Secretary and I look forward to discussing the political and security situation in Mexico when we meet the Mexican Foreign Minister in London on 19 October. The political focus in Mexico remains on the consequences of the earthquakes of 7 and 19 September. We are also supporting the Mexican Government’s efforts to tackle underlying justice and security issues, including through Prosperity Fund programmes to promote transparency and support the consolidation of Mexico’s new adversarial justice system.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 16/10/2017 15:00:20 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

uin	107063
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>On 8 March 2017, Women in Sport published their Beyond 30% report which showed that 65% of the organisations funded by Sport England and/or UK Sport have more than 25% women on their boards. While this is a significant improvement on 2015, when the comparable figure was just 46%, clearly there is more to be done. This is why the Code for Sports Governance published last October requires funded organisations to adopt a target of, and take all appropriate actions to encourage, a minimum of 30% of each gender on its board. The governance code is mandatory for all sports bodies seeking public funding. National Governing Bodies who do not comply with the code will need to have agreed with the funding body an action plan which sets out how they will become compliant with that requirement by 31 October this year.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 16/10/2017 15:50:27 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
