Does the hon. Gentleman not understand? It is gratifying to hear a Conservative MP talking almost like a feminist. We all appreciate that discrimination is rooted in the structure of society and its various cultural, social, political and economic aspects. Some of us have been fighting and campaigning against it for years and have tried to seek improvements. Does he not understand that it is the same old same old? Frankly, pigs will fly before we hear of any positive action from his party on how the overall problem should be solved. We want the solution to equal pay now, not in another 30 years’ time.
