Baroness Thornton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

When they intend to publish their latest report for women, Voices 2. [HL4053]

The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Jay of Paddington)

We have today published this year's Government report for women,Voices, copies of which have been placed in the Libraries of the House.

Voices is a practical guide for women to the help and services available from Government. It contains information and advice on the opportunities provided by Government to help women improve their lives. It covers a wide range of subjects, including employment rights, setting up a business, combining work and home life, childcare, support for caring, volunteering, lifelong learning, health, personal finances and information technology. This information is presented in a clear and accessible style.

Voices also meets our commitment to the United Nations to provide an annual progress report on action we have taken to help women in the UK.
