Mr Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley) (Con)
6. What steps she is taking to close the gender pay gap.
The Secretary of State for Education (Nicky Morgan)
The gender pay gap is at its narrowest ever and has been entirely eliminated among full-time workers under the age of 40. Of course the gender pay gap is still too wide, which is why we are closing it further by encouraging girls and young women to consider a wider range of careers, including well-paid careers in technology and engineering.
