[The Minister of State, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (Sarah Jones)]

South Yorkshire has a proud history of steelmaking, as I saw for myself when I was at Sheffield Forgemasters last week. We saw a huge reduction in steel production in this country on the last Government’s watch, and we want to turn that around, which is why we are delivering a steel strategy. As ever, I would of course be delighted to meet my hon. Friend to talk about how we can make this work.

[Madam Deputy Speaker]

I call the Liberal Democrat spokesperson.

T8. The gender pay gap is growing in a quarter of Government bodies. How is this setting the rest of the country an example?

[Caroline Nokes]

Departments will publish new gender pay gap figures before the end of the year to meet the requirements of the Government’s new gender pay gap regulations for all large employers. The new requirements will provide unprecedented transparency, generate wider debate, and encourage employers to take the action required to close that gap.
