Castle Award (Hansard, 15 July 2002)

HC Deb 15 July 2002 vol 389 c112W 112W

§ Mr. Tynan
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if his Department has applied for a Castle award for equal pay. [65223]

§ Mr. McCartney
The Department for Work and Pensions has not applied for a Castle award for equal pay. The Department is however, fully committed to ensuring that equal pay remains a priority. To achieve this objective, an equal pay review was commissioned in 2001–02, undertaken by independent consultants. The review was completed earlier this year and the findings are currently under consideration.
