Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, pursuant to the Answer of 1 March 2017 to Question 65481, how many and what proportion of the 2016 Queen's Award for Enterprise awards were presented to women in the (a) International Trade, (b) Innovation and (c) Sustainable Development category.

I refer my Hon Friend to my reply to the hon Member for Kingston upon Hull North (Diana Johnson) to Question UIN 65481. Queen’s Awards for Enterprise in the categories of International Trade, Innovation and Sustainable Development recognise the achievements of companies, not individuals; therefore gender statistics are not available.
