Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, how much funding the Government has allocated to the pay transparency pilot.

As part of the Inclusive Britain report, we committed to launch an Inclusion at Work Panel - made up of academics and practitioners in business. The Panel will develop and disseminate resources to help employers more effectively improve belonging, nurture talent, and root out ineffective diversity and inclusion practices in the workplace.

Existing evidence shows that pay transparency may play a role in reducing unfair pay disparities. Given that the Inclusion at Work Panel will be independently considering the range of tools and practices which maximise the benefits of diversity and inclusion, we have taken the decision to bring the consideration of pay transparency work within their remit.
