Equal Pay
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what has been the change in the Gender Pay Gap between July 2024 and December 2025.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
The Office for National Statistics releases data on the national gender pay gap annually in October, based on April pay data. This showed that the national median gap in April 2025 was 12.8%. In the previous year, the national gap stood at 13.1%. This release can be accessed here:
The ONS also produces additional breakdowns of this data, which can be accessed at: https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/earningsandworkinghours/datasets/annualsurveyofhoursandearningsashegenderpaygaptables
