The Liberal Democrats today called for more to be done to tackle the gender pay gap following the publication of a report that shows a third of employers believe that women outperform men in the workplace.
"It is not surprising that women workers are highly regarded in the workplace. But if this is the case, why won't employers pay their female staff the same wage as men?
"It is disgusting that women throughout Europe are being ill-rewarded for their work. Here in the UK we pride ourselves on a fair and equal society, yet we patently do not value women's presence in the workplace to the extent that we do men's."
