MPs urge action so women don’t have to pay extra
LABOUR MPs called on the government to address “gender pricing” once and for all in yesterday’s parliamentary debate on high street stores charging twice as much for products aimed at women.
Dewsbury MP Paula Sherriff condemned the practice of making women pay up to 37 per cent more for items that are similar to those labelled for men.
Ms Sherriff had already led the discussion on the abolition of the infamous “tampon tax,” after Chancellor George Osborne decided to continue taxing women’s toiletries as luxury products.
