(asked on 5th September 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to help reduce the gender pay gap at the BBC.
This question was answered on 13th September 2017
The government is committed to eliminating the gender pay gap. As a public service broadcaster funded by the licence fee, the BBC has a responsibility to set an example for others and lead the way in promoting equality in the workplace. It is for the BBC to determine how to close its gender pay gap and we expect to see improvement in next year's disclosure.
