As set out in our manifesto and in the King’s Speech last July, the government remains committed to introducing mandatory ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting for large employers.

Our consultation on ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting closed on 10 June. Good progress has been made in analysing the responses and developing our policy and legislative approach.

The regulatory impact assessment for these measures has been produced.

We will publish the Government response to the ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting consultation in due course .
