Gender pay gap inclusion in indyref2 whitepaper welcomed with warning of 'work to do'

THE inclusion of the gender pay gap in the first white paper for Scottish independence has been welcomed amid calls for greater “visibility” of the benefits for women during the Yes campaign.

The First Minister told The National at the launch of the first indyref2 prospectus that issues of gender equality will “of course” be covered by the documents set to follow.
