§ Mr. DenhamTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs what assessment he has made of the pay gap between men and women 245W employed by his Department and its agencies in (a) Southampton, (b) Eastleigh, (c) Winchester and (d) Romsey. [171639]
§ Mr. LammyIn response to the Equal Opportunities Task Force report "Just Pay", my Department undertook a review of equal pay in 2002–03 and drew up an action plan to address any unjustified equal pay gaps.
The review did not find significant gender pay gaps and the action plan set out proposals for reducing those gaps that were exposed. The review examined the position across the Department as a whole and did not make an assessment by individual location.
