In recent years the pay gap in Northern Ireland has continued to narrow. In Northern Ireland tackling the gender pay gap is mainly the responsibility of Northern Ireland Executive Ministers but the Government is also playing its part.<\/p>

The gender pay gap in the UK has fallen to its lowest level ever and has been virtually eliminated among full-time workers under the age of 40, but our goal must be to eliminate it and as the Conservative Manifesto states, \u201cwe will push business to do so.\u201d The Government is tackling systemic pay inequalities through a range of measures including extending flexible working and introducing shared parental leave.<\/p>

The Conservative Manifesto makes clear this Government\u2019s commitment to \u201cfull, genuine gender equality\u201d and states that \u201cwe will to require companies with more than 250 employees to publish the difference between the average pay of their male and female employees.\u201d<\/p>

Crisis Loans were abolished from April 2013 and the funding for them, and other parts of the poorly targeted Discretionary Social Fund, passed to local authorities in England and the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales to provide new support for vulnerable people in their communities. Councils are better placed to choose what type of support to provide because what is right for East Ham will not be right for East Sussex. They were not asked or expected to replicate the previous arrangements so comparisons cannot be made between the two.<\/p>

Under successive Governments, the quality of rolling stock on the national network has not kept up with either demand or passengers\u2019 expectations. This is why replacement and renewal of rolling stock is an integral part of the Government\u2019s ambitious plans for the rail network.<\/p>

Improvements in rolling stock are key to the Government\u2019s Rail Investment Strategy, with a record £38 billion being spent as part of the largest modernisation of the railways since Victorian times.<\/p>

<\/p>

This includes the new Intercity Express trains that will be built in the UK and serve passengers travelling on Great Western and East Coast, as well as the new Thameslink trains that will operate on commuter routes north and south of London.<\/p>
