§ 69. Mr. Wallaceasked the Secretary of State for Employment whether he will introduce legislation to ensure greater equality of remuneration for women compared to men.
§ Mr. Alan ClarkOur 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.
