HC Deb 26 November 1974 vol 882 c101W
45. Mrs. Millie Miller

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether, in view of the concern among women in some industries that their jobs may be classified in a lower grade because they are almost entirely carried out by women, he will consider the use of "nominal male" rates of pay, as are included within New Zealand's anti-discrimination legislation.

Mr. John Fraser

I do not consider that it would be appropriate to make a fundamental change of this nature to the Equal Pay Act in the year before it comes into operation.
