HC Deb 09 July 1985 vol 82 c419W
69. Mr. Wallace

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will introduce legislation to ensure greater equality of remuneration for women compared to men.

Mr. Alan Clark

Our legislation already provides for women to be paid equally with men when they are doing the same work or work of equal value. I hope that the Equal Opportunities Commission's code of practice, which came into operation on 30 April, will help to improve women's access to higher level jobs in the future.
