Equality and Human Rights Commission has written to all 1,400 McDonald 's branches in Britain .

It has warned them they must comply with their legal duties or risk enforcement action.

In January , McDonald 's workers said they still faced sexual harassment more than a year after chief executive promised to clean up behaviour.

McDonald's said it is "committed" to doing everything it can to ensure a safe working environment.

Action plan will involve strengthening existing measures and announcing new steps.

Alistair Macrow , the boss of McDonald's in the UK , has been summoned twice to Parliament to answer questions.

In January , he said 29 people had been dismissed over sexual harassment allegations over the past 12 months .
