To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment she has made of the impact of working from home policies on the gender pay gap.
Answer
Kevin HollinrakeWe have not made an assessment of the impact of home or remote working policies on the gender pay gap specifically.
The gender pay gap for all employees has been falling over time. The gap was 14.9% in 2022, and remains lower than the pre-covid period, where it stood at 17.4% in 2019.
