Written Question
Monday 18th February 2019
Asked by:
Jess Phillips (Labour - Birmingham Yardley)
Question
to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what plans he Department has to consult on lowering the threshold for gender pay gap reporting in future reporting years.
Answered by Victoria Atkins
- Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
The Government Equalities Office continues to encourage organisations with fewer than 250 employees to publish gender pay gap data voluntarily, and supports them to do so. Several employers under the threshold reported in the first reporting year, and some have already done so ahead of the deadlines for the second year.
We recognise the challenges that smaller organisations face in compiling the data, and would consult with stakeholders on feasibility and possible implications before extending the regulations.

Written Question
Tuesday 19th June 2018
Asked by:
Jess Phillips (Labour - Birmingham Yardley)
Question
to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what (a) support and (b) guidance his Department provides to local authorities on parental leave for local councillors; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Jake Berry
I have met both the Fawcett Society and the Local Government Association to discuss this issue and am keen to explore why some councils have felt able to provide for parental leave and others have not. I will also be examining what other actions could be taken which would have a positive impact on the gender balance and diversity of councillors.
