Equal Pay: Disability and Ethnic Groups
The question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, when she plans to respond to the Equality (Race and Disability) Bill: mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting consultation which closed on 10 June 2025.
Answered by Seema Malhotra
As set out in our manifesto and in the King’s Speech in July 2024, the government is committed to introducing mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting for large employers. Ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting will provide transparency to help employers identify and reduce pay inequalities.
Good progress has been made in developing the policy and legislative approach to ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting following the public consultation last year.
We will publish the government response to the ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting consultation soon.
