"The Conservative Party has recently published "Fair Play on Women's Pay: A six-point plan to overcome the gender pay gap". The Conservative Party wants to help to stamp out the pay gap once and for all.
This includes compulsory pay audits for employers who are found to discriminate, new measures to help women into work and up the careers ladder, and extending the right to request flexible working to all parents of children aged eighteen or younger.
Equal pay is crucial for a fair and equal society, but national governments and parliaments are generally best placed to act in ways that are most effective for their own societies and economies. This recommendation by the European Parliament is over-prescriptive at the EU level.
The Bauer report is not one we can support, however, as the request for a new legislative proposal on equal pay is based on Article 141(3) of the EC Treaty which is covered by the Conservative Party's pledge to opt out of the Social Chapter."@en1
