To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if he will make representations on reducing the gender pay gap at the BBC during forthcoming discussions on the BBC Charter.

Mr Edward Vaizey

The Charter Review is looking at the BBC’s mission, purpose and values; scale and scope of its services and operations; the way it is funded; and also governance and accountability.

Last week, the Government announced new measures to eradicate gender inequality in the workplace, including forcing larger public sector employersto publish information about their bonuses for men and women and extending plans for gender pay gap reporting.
