§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what progress has been made with the pay review in his Department, agencies and non-departmental public bodies for which he is responsible, with particular reference to the gender pay gap; and if he will make a statement. [106745]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienAs part of The Foreign and Commonwealth Office's commitment to the Equal Opportunities Commission Task Force "Just Pay" report, our pay review is under way and we plan to submit our action plan to the Cabinet Office by the end of April 2003. Our non-departmental government bodies were not included in our review as the members of the boards are paid expenses only.
