Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will publish a timeline for the introduction of the right to equal pay for disabled people through the introduction of mandatory disability pay gap reporting for large employers.

Following the announcement in the King's Speech in July to take forward work on an Equality (Race and Disability) Bill, and this government's manifesto commitments to introduce the full right to equal pay for disabled people and disability pay gap reporting for large employers, the Disability Unit is currently taking forward work in these areas. Ministers will update the House as this work progresses.
