The provisions in the Equality Act 2010 (Gender Pay Gap Information) Regulations 2017 have largely been replicated in the Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties and Public Authorities) Regulations 2017. The legislation can be found at: <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2017/9780111153277/contents" target="_blank">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukdsi/2017/9780111153277/contents</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Subject to Parliamentary approval, these regulations will come into force in March 2017 and the specified public bodies will need to publish their first set of gender pay gap data before 30 March 2018. Both sets of regulations will require the same gender pay gap calculations and use the same methodology for calculating the data.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 14/02/2017 13:46:57 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
