May. 16th, 2005 02:16 pm"The new UK Minister for Women will be working unpaid .... She will oversee the controversial plans to create a single UK equality body, in the face of opposition from the UK Commission for Racial Equality. ... The issue of the unpaid role is particularly surprising given that her predecessor, Jacqui Smith, was paid and there was criticism when Joan Ruddock, the first woman to take the job, agreed to forego a salary. ... a spokeswoman said yesterday. "... There have been unpaid ministers before and it is not anything related to gender.""
