Motion text

That this House notes with concern the findings of the report by the Women and Work Commission which highlighted the fact that women in full-time work are earning on average 17 per cent. less than men; believes that unequal pay based on sex discrimination is completely unacceptable; recognises that following the Equal Pay Act over 30 years ago more needs to be done to address this pay differential; and calls on the Government to introduce mandatory pay audits which would require employers to track and correct gender wage discrepancies as one important measure to correct the unacceptable wage imbalance between men and women.
