Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what discussions she has had with stakeholders on the potential impact of pay transparency requirements on workplace equality.

As part of our ongoing commitment to advancing workplace equality, we launched a Call for Evidence on Equality Law, including questions on pay transparency. This will help us to better understand how increased transparency may impact women, ethnic minorities, disabled people, and other groups in the workplace.

We are now analysing responses to the Call for Evidence, which closed on 30 June, and will give careful consideration as to whether additional pay transparency measures would be proportionate and effective in improving pay equality in Great Britain.

We thank all respondents—individuals, employers, trade unions, and civil society—for their valuable input.
