Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what progress has been made on producing the report reviewing the success of gender pay gap reporting regulations mandated by The Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017.

The last decade has seen the national gender pay gap fall by approximately a quarter; with the gender pay gap reporting regulations helping to motivate employers to improve equality in the workplace.

We are required to carry out a review of the regulations after they’ve been in force for five years; as is the case for many other business regulations. This is being prepared and will be published in due course.
