HC Deb 10 June 2003 vol 406 cc737-8W
Angela Eagle

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what progress has been made on completing a pay audit in his Department and its non-departmental public bodies to measure any disadvantage in terms of remuneration for(a) women, (b) ethnic minorities and (c) people with disabilities; and if he will publish the results of such an audit. [117429]

Mr. Jamieson

My Department and its agencies have completed the review of their pay systems encompassing women, ethnic minorities and people with disabilities. Action plans for each have been produced. These will be placed in the Libraries of the House in due course after full consideration has been given to the issues identified.

NDPBs carried out reviews as a matter of good practice. As there was no formal commitment for them to do so, publication will not apply.
