<p>This Government strongly supports gender equality and condemns discrimination on
the grounds of gender. That is why we are committed to review non-disclosure agreements
and any evidence that is coming forward about how they are being used. The Government
will also be publishing guidance on employee dress codes, so that employers and employees
are aware of how these may constitute discrimination or lead to harassment in the
workplace.</p><p>We are also committed to increasing diversity on FTSE boards and
in senior executive roles. There is a higher percentage of women on company boards
than ever before – more than doubling in the last six years. However, we need to maintain
momentum and that is why we are supporting the work of the business led, Hampton-Alexander
Review and their voluntary targets for 33% FTSE 350 board directors and senior executives
to be women by 2020.</p>
