The gender pay gap
We will take measures to close the gender pay gap. We will require companies with more
than 250 employees to publish more data on the pay gap between men and women. We
shall continue to work for parity in the number of public appointments going to women,
and we shall push for an increase in the number of women sitting on boards of companies.
We will take steps to improve take-up of shared parental leave and help companies
provide more flexible work environments that help mothers and fathers to share
parenting.
Fair markets for consumers
A Conservative government will strengthen the hand of regulators. We will strengthen the
powers of consumer enforcement bodies to order fines against companies breaking consumer
law and deliver redress for wronged parties. We will explore how to give consumers a voice in
the regulation of business. We will put the interest of vulnerable consumers first, including
considering a duty on regulators to weigh up their needs.
etc,etc,etc,etc.
Not that manifestos are filled with pledges they keep.
It isn't as many social media sound bites suggest. There is a lot of stuff in both parties manifestos that would be good.
