HC Deb 01 November 2001 vol 373 cc774-5W
16. Mrs. Mahon

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what action her Department is taking to reduce the pay gap between men and women. [9565]

Ms Hewitt

Denise Kingsmill's review of Women's Employment and Pay will be reporting very shortly, and we look forward to discussing her findings at a December conference. Government Departments are reviewing their pay systems and we are promoting action in local government. The Equal Opportunity Commission's model for voluntary pay reviews will also soon be available.
