Question
T1. If she will make a statement on her departmental responsibilities.
Answer
Women and girls should never have to shrink our lives or ambitions because of outdated misogynistic attitudes. The appalling testimonies we have heard in recent days underline how much further we have to go. I pay tribute to all the women who have shown such bravery in coming forward and sharing their experiences. The misogyny taskforce will help to tackle misogyny in workplaces, communities and online. It is backed by £15 million, which we are working with businesses and philanthropists to grow. The Government are clear that misogyny has no place in our society and it is time to consign those attitudes to history.57% vibes
Verdict: RED (20/100)
The reply mentions a misogyny taskforce backed by £15 million and expresses broad concern about misogyny. However, it does not explain the minister's departmental responsibilities, which is what the question asked about, and it gives only general statements rather than specifics. The person who asked would most likely need to submit a follow-up to get a clear answer.
How we got there
| Question item | Coverage | Specificity | Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|
| Will the minister make a statement on her departmental responsibilities? | Partially Addressed | Generic | The reply describes a misogyny taskforce backed by £15 million, which is a government programme that may fall within the minister's remit, but it never addresses the minister's departmental responsibilities or makes any statement about them as such. The surrounding statements are broad expressions of concern about misogyny rather than a statement on departmental responsibilities. |
