Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what progress the Government has made on its women's engagement programme.

The Coalition Government’s Women’s Engagement Programme engaged women in dialogue with government through a range of means including ministerial roundtables, consultation events, social media, an online newsletter and a four nations ministerial roadshow. We are currently considering options for building on this work and how we can effectively engage with women whose voices are less often heard. I also refer the MP for Lancaster and Fleetwood to the answer to PQ 34907, which sets out the Ministers for Women and Equalities' recent engagement with women’s organisations.
