Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Equality Bill.
Equality Bill
Surely what my right hon. Friend is saying makes a great deal of sense. What we should do is move towards a system of compulsory pay audits only if the situation does not improve. As she rightly points out, we need to change the culture, and placing oppressive burdens on all businesses at this stage would make no sense at all. Audits should be carried out only on companies that have broken the law.
