Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what is the current policy of HM Courts & Tribunals Service on ensuring its courts facilities for (a) the public and (b) staff are compliant with the Supreme Court ruling in the case of For Women Scotland v. The Scottish Ministers regarding the meaning of “sex” in the Equality Act 2010.

HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) works to ensure its facilities comply with equalities law, in relation to the interpretation of sex under the Equality Act 2010.

HMCTS is presently awaiting updated cross-government guidance from the Office for Equality and Opportunity.
