Proceeding contribution from Denis MacShane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on G8 and G20 Summits.

G8 and G20 Summits

The Prime Minister has had three international outings and he has acquitted himself very well; it would be churlish not to acknowledge that. Ahead of them, he wrote in the Financial Times on 17 June:""It is shocking that…women still do not have equal rights in the workplace. This is not just unfair; it makes no sense—because it deprives our economies of their full potential as workers and consumers."" Will he therefore agree, in this spirit of bipartisanship, that having the gender pay audits that have been suggested in both the public and private sectors would be a way of getting rid of that huge problem?
