Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, what plans the Law Officers' Department has to publish information on the gender pay gap among its employees.
Answered by Robert Buckland
The Government has consulted on its proposals to extend its commitment to mandatory gender pay gap reporting to the public sector. The Government Legal Department, Crown Prosecution Service and Serious Fraud Office will comply with any future publication requirements which will apply to it when the relevant legislation is in place.
The Attorney General’s Office and Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate are organisations with less than 250 employees so are not expected to be required to publish any gender pay gap information on their website. The expectation however is that they too will comply with the spirit of the legislation.
