Question

To ask His Majesty's Government following the publication of the report of the Review of Data, Statistics and Research on Sex and Gender, published on 19 March, what progress they have made on adjusting guidance to employers for reporting on their gender pay gap to reflect the Review’s recommendations.

The current gender pay gap reporting guidance was drafted in order to reduce the burden on business, and be mindful of variations in their data collection processes.

We are aware of the recommendations relating to gender pay gap reporting in the Review of Data, Statistics and Research on Sex and Gender. We recognise that the recent Supreme Court judgment has also changed the landscape in this area. We are currently reviewing the guidance in light of this judgment to ensure it is accurate.
