There is likely to be variation in the extent to which organisations collect this information about their staff. As part of the LGBT Action Plan, the Government Equalities Office is working with the Office for National Statistics and the Government Statistical Service on a cross-government project to develop monitoring standards for sexual orientation and gender identity across central government. These standards will be freely available to the wider public and private sectors, which will enable organisations to introduce measures, such as monitoring the LGBT pay gap, if they so wish.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 02/10/2019 10:01:51 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
