Harriet Harman, who has previously railed against male bankers visiting lap dancing clubs, has endorsed a report by an equality charity that finds evidence that the use of strip clubs by City of London firms perpetuates gender inequality in the workplace.

The report by the Fawcett Society, titled "Corporate Sexism: the sex industry's infiltration of the modern workplace", was launched at an event yesterday morning, where Harriet Harman was the key speaker.
