【参考答案及解析】
Rationale: The right to equal pay for work of equal value was established by the Equal Pay(Amendment) Regulations 1984. This does not imply that the woman has to be in the same job (option D). Job evaluation is recommended as a way of establishing relative values of jobs, but is not compulsory (option B). Equal Pay deals only with sexual discrimination - not race or other grounds.
