Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Lewer and Kemi Badenoch

Wednesday 12th July 2023 Commons Chamber

[Andrew Lewer (Northampton South) (Con)]

T6. How many discussions has the Secretary of State had with Department for Education colleagues about forthcoming guidance on trans-identifying children?

[Kemi Badenoch]

I have been working closely with the Education Secretary, because it is important that we get the guidance for schools right. It must show schools how to be compassionate to pupils questioning their gender in a way that is compliant with the Equality Act 2010, including ensuring that single-sex spaces are maintained and the safety and wellbeing of all pupils is not compromised.
