Business question from Anne Snelgrove (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Is my right hon. and learned Friend aware of the scandalous gender pay gap of 40 per cent. in the banking sector? Will she urge her ministerial colleagues to take action to rectify that situation, particularly as far as bonuses are concerned? They hardly ever fall to women and are awarded entirely subjectively. Frankly, it is unacceptable of that industry to carry on in the way that it has been doing.
