<p>It is important that women and men are recognised and paid equally for doing the
same work. I welcome the positive step that has been taken to ensure that all companies
in Great Britain with more than 250 employees are required to report their gender
pay gap to the Government Equalities Office.</p><p> </p><p>We know there is some work
to do to narrow the gender pay gap across the sport sector. Sport England’s workforce
strategy for England, “Working in an Active Nation”, highlights the commitment to
achieving higher gender diversity in leadership roles on boards in sport. Furthermore
the UK Sport and Sport England Code for Sports Governance, which is mandatory and
applies to any organisation seeking funding from Sport England or UK Sport, includes
a target of at least 30% gender diversity on boards.</p>
