Finally, on Amendment 314, we are already acting in this space. To inform the development of the equality (race and disability) Bill, we are consulting on how best to introduce mandatory disability pay gap reporting for large employers. This consultation further includes questions regarding expanding the employer-led gender pay gap action plans in the Employment Rights Bill to disability via the equality (race and disability) Bill, recognising that employers are best placed to address issues within their own organisations. We are also consulting on the future of access to work and how workplaces can be made more accessible for disabled people via the Pathways to Work Green Paper, which will inform the government-led efforts to increase disability inclusion in the workplace. Therefore, such an amendment is unnecessary at this point as significant action is already underway to progress and support disabled people.
