Page 77 of the programme for Government contains a commitment to introduce legislation to require publication of the gender pay gap in large companies. Last Monday, 8 November, was Equal Pay Day. On that day women effectively stopped earning relative to men because of our greater gender pay gap of 14.4%. I commend the campaign of WorkEqual to highlight the injustice. When will this legislation be progressed and what action is the Government taking to address the imbalance?
