Women In Equalities Minister's Dept Earn Less

Women civil servants working for the Equalities Minister are earning £4,000 less each year than their male counterparts. The figures, disclosed by the Labour Party ahead of International Women's Day on Tuesday, showed that women working in the Department for Education (DfE) were paid nearly £2 an hour less than the men. The research also showed that just one in four board members of the department, headed by Nicky Morgan, were women.
