Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Bowie and Penny Mordaunt

Thursday 17th May 2018 Commons Chamber

[Penny Mordaunt]

One thing that I have been conscious of is how the progress that we have made on these issues and on wider issues has been a catalyst for change in other countries all around the world. We in the UK have a very important role to play. Let me give Members one example. At the recent Commonwealth Heads of Government summit, our Prime Minister used the key part of her plenary session to champion the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. We will continue to do that in every nation on earth.

[Andrew Bowie (West Aberdeenshire and Kincardine) (Con)]

Women used to lag well behind men in terms of workplace pensions. Will the Minister update the House on the current situation?
