PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Lawn Tennis Association: Equal Pay (15 March 2018)

It is important that women and men are recognised and paid equally for doing the same work. We 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.

We know there is some work to do to narrow the gender pay gap across the sport sector. If this is to happen progress must continue to be made in the wider culture of sport to ensure women are treated equally to men at all levels. I know that the LTA are committed to using this opportunity to look at how they can most effectively tackle the gap that exists.
