Shops should stop labelling and segregating toys by gender as it may be a factor in discouraging girls from going into science and engineering careers in later life, Jenny Willott, an equalities minister, has suggested.
Willott, a senior Liberal Democrat, said the government was working with the retail industry to end division of toys by gender into separate girls' and boys' aisles.
Children should be able to make their own choices over which toys they want to play with, without them being labelled as "for girls" or "for boys", she said.
