A person’s race or ethnicity should never be a barrier to opportunity. In March, we published the ethnicity and disability pay gap reporting consultation response and will bring forward legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows. We plan to conduct further engagement on equal pay proposals so the law works for everyone - employees, businesses and Trade Unions.
