To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what equality impact assessments his Department has carried out since May 2010; and for what purpose in each case.
The Department for Communities and Local Government considers equality issues in exercising its functions, to comply with equality legislation and to ensure it understands how its activities will affect different people. The conclusions are used to inform policies and programmes in various ways. Sometimes this information is published in the form of an equality impact assessment, although there has never been a legal requirement to produce such documents.
During the period in question DCLG carried out 35 equality impact assessments.
