Nearly 40% of the board positions at the UK's biggest companies are now held by women, a government-backed review has found.

The FTSE Women Leaders Review found 414 women held company board roles at FTSE 100 firms last year, up from 374 in 2020.
But the review also exposed a lack of women in executive director roles.
Just 13.5% of the executive director positions were held by women in 2021, down from 14.2% the year before.
The government suggested that the findings demonstrate a "major sea-change" in "attitudes to getting women leaders to the top table of business".
Although 4 in 10 of UK FTSE 100 board positions were held by women in 2021, the report found that 45.7% of these positions were in non-executive roles, such as senior human resource positions.
Out of the 414 women in board roles, 385 were non-executive positions.
Just 29 women held executive director positions at the UK's biggest firms last year.
The review's chief executive, Denise Wilson, has set out new recommendations to increase women's representation in FTSE 350 board and leadership roles to 40% by the end of 2025 and include the UK's largest 50 private companies by sales in the next review.
"While we continue to build on progress for women on boards, we need to firmly shift focus in this next phase to women in leadership roles at the top of the organisation," she said.
Unlike countries such as France, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany, which have introduced quotas for women in executive and management positions, it is voluntary for UK firms.
