The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking to help tackle the ethnicity pay gap.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

As set out in the King’s Speech in July, the government is committed to introducing mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting for large employers. These measures will be part of the upcoming Equality (Race and Disability) Bill.

We will shortly be consulting on our proposals to help us shape the legislation.
