Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, with reference to The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 and the Answer of 3 November 2022 to Question 73835 on Equal Pay, if she will publish the report in accordance with Section 16 of that regulation by 1 January 2023.

As this is a statutory review it must be approved by the Secretary of State. It is appropriate that the Minister for Women and Equalities, who was only appointed at the end of October, takes time to properly consider the analysis and findings prior to publishing the report.

In line with the Government’s own best practice for post-implementation reviews, the report also needs to be signed off by the Department’s Chief Economist.

Once the review has completed these stages it will be published alongside the regulations.
