Another statistic from the report that the hon. Gentleman has quoted from is that 60 per cent. of women's employment is concentrated in just 10 occupations. Is not one of the issues that many of the jobs that women have traditionally chosen to do, are undervalued? That is why we need to make the Equal Pay Act 1970 work, and also why we need the reporting provisions—and, I would say, other provisions—to strengthen equal pay legislation.
