The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to reduce the gender pay gap in the civil service.

Answered by Satvir Kaur

The Civil Service is committed to being an inclusive employer. Departments report annually on their gender pay gap producing action plans to specifically target drivers of GPG and pay disparities within their respective organisations. 2025 data shows the lowest recorded gender pay gaps since overall Civil Service reporting began in 2020.
