For example, we have engaged with women\u2019s groups through the Centenary Programme, Returners Programme and the LGBT action plan.<\/p>

The Government Equalities Office is currently developing a programme of work to ensure that women\u2019s voices are better heard by policymakers.

The Government believes that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect and that there can be no place for violence and harassment in the workplace. The Government therefore supports the adoption of an International Labour Convention on ending violence and harassment in the world of work.

The information below details the average in-year bonus by gender and grade for each of the last three financial years. The 2016/17 and 2017/18 tables use information consistent with that used for the respective gender pay gap calculations. The 2015/16 table is based on the same information from that year although this was before the legislative requirement to publish the gender pay gap came into effect.<\/p>


<\/p>

Grades C and D have been combined as the sample size for grade D is too small to report on alone.<\/p>

To clarify, the figures specified in this question relate to the percentages of men and women at Grade A(U) who received end of year bonuses and does not include data relating to in-year bonuses. At Grade A (which has nearly 5 times as many staff members than grade A(U)), 14.84% of men received end of year bonuses compared to 18.06% of women.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Grade A(U) is the smallest of the delegated grades (other than grade D). A total of 16 individuals, out of 63, within this grade were granted end of year bonuses and so the overall percentage of staff receiving end of year awards at this grade is easily skewed due to the small sample size.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Across the department as a whole, the percentages of men and women receiving end of year awards were very similar (15.1% of men and 15.5% of women).<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4115", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Margot James"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stourbridge"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Margot James"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-03-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-03-05T15:03:36.32Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport: Incentives"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, with reference to his Department's Gender Pay Gap Report 2018, for what reasons at Grade A 32.26 per cent of men received bonuses compared to 18.75 per cent of women.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1463", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Watson of Wyre Forest"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Bromwich East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tom Watson"} ], "uin" : "227060"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1077363", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1077363/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The proposal for a facility in Bescot is being developed by Network Rail to produce the sleepers necessary for them to maintain, renew, and enhance our rail network.<\/p>

<\/p>

The facility requires the grant of full planning permission by Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, the statutory local planning authority. The planning process involves an Environmental Impact Assessment that examines impacts including air quality, noise, traffic, and public health.<\/p>
