Lords ChamberMy Lords, closing the pay gap between men and women is a really important question, and one that this Government have been very committed to addressing. The noble Baroness will be aware of the work of the noble Lord, Lord Davies. We must ensure that companies are held to account. That is why my right honourable friend Nicky Morgan, the Minister for Equalities, is pressing hard for companies employing more than 250 people to publish what they pay to men and women.
Does the Minister agree with the Sikh teaching that in conflict, enemy women should be regarded as mother, sister or daughter?
My Lords, across any teachings, we need to ensure that the basic human rights of all people are supported and protected.
