Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what estimate she has made of the gender pay gap in (a) Hampstead and Kilburn constituency, (b) London and (c) the UK in each year since 2010.

The Office of National Statistics publishes the median hourly pay figures set out below, based on place of residence, annually.

The UK gender pay gap is now at a historic low of 18.1%. However, while we have made progress, there is more to do to close the gap. In April this year, the UK became one of the first countries to introduce mandatory reporting of gender pay gaps and bonuses for voluntary, public and private sector employers with more than 250 staff. The new regulations are an important step in addressing the gender pay gap by highlighting where women are being held back, so that employers can take action.
