The House of Commons Petitions Committee and the Women and Equalities Committee have published a joint report calling for more effective remedies against employers who require female staff to wear high heels at work, and for Acas guidance on dress codes to be improved. Parliament is due to debate the issue in March, and the Government is expected to publish its response to the report within two months.
