Jeremy Corbyn, 2017
We brought in the Equal Pay Act… [we will] introduce a civil enforcement system to ensure compliance with gender pay auditing – so that all workers have fair access to employment and promotion opportunities and are treated fairly at work.
Keir Starmer, 2024
Fifty years after the implementation of the Equal Pay Act, in Government Labour will finish the business of ending pay discrimination at work, and deliver Barbara Castle’s vision. Labour is committed to tackling the gender pay gap which is narrowing too slowly… Labour will implement a regulatory and enforcement unit for equal pay with involvement from trade unions.
