Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, with reference to The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017, SI 172/2017, on what date the report required by Section 16 of that regulation was due to be published.

We are required to publish a review of the gender pay gap reporting regulations after they’ve been in force for five years; as is the case for many other business regulations.

Given the impact of the pandemic, it is important that we take time to properly consider the evidence we have from the last five years, so that the review accurately reflects the implementation and impact of reporting. The final review will be published in due course.
