HC Deb 26 October 1972 vol 843 c412W
64. Mr. Edward Bishop

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what action he proposes to take to reduce evasion of the Equal Pay Act by employers and employees following the report of the Office of Manpower Economics.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The Office of Manpower Economics found very little evidence of employers or employees deliberately taking action designed to circumvent the Act. My right hon. Friend will, however, keep the situation under review.
