LABOUR attacked the Tories today over their “13 years of failure” after new figures showed that women in their thirties are on average £4,159 a year worse off than when the Conservatives came to power.

In April 2010, the median full-time salary of women in that age range was the equivalent of £37,899 in current terms, but it is just £33,740 today.

The House of Commons Library analysis also lays bare the stark regional differences in how women’s living standards have fared since the Conservatives took office.
