Gender Pay Gap

EDM number 373 in 2000-01, proposed by Joan Ruddock on 26/02/2001.

That this House welcomes the publication of the report of the Equal Opportunities Commission's employer-led Equal Pay Taskforce; recognises that 30 years after the Equal Pay Act 1970 there remains a substantial pay gap between women and men, currently at 18 per cent; and calls upon Government, trade unions and employers to support the Equal Opportunities Commission's 'Valuing Women' campaign to eliminate the gender pay gap.

This motion has been signed by a total of 147 MPs.
