Equal Pay: Gender
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help reduce the gender pay gap.
Answered by Anneliese Dodds
Women’s equality and economic growth go hand in hand, but in spite of reporting requirements, progress on closing the gender pay gap stalled under the previous administration.
This government will Make Work Pay – including for women. As part of the Employment Rights Bill, we will require large employers to publish gender pay gap action plans alongside their figures. We are committed to working closely with partners both inside and outside government to make this a reality.
