Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Baroness Elliott of Whitburn Bay and David Lidington

Wednesday 12th September 2018 Commons Chamber

[Julie Elliott (Sunderland Central) (Lab)]

T6. Will the Minister tell the House what steps he has taken to tackle the gender pay gap in the civil service?

[Mr Lidington]

The Government have required all public bodies and large private sector employers to make public their gender pay gap, so that action can then be taken to ensure that that gap is reduced and closed. We are determined that the public sector will set an example.
