Question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what plans she has for the Equality Data Programme; and for how long the programme will continue.
The Equality Data Programme was announced to improve the quality of evidence on barriers to opportunity in line with our on-going manifesto commitment to do so. In January 2023, the results of the programme were published by the Office for National Statistics on their website.
We continue to work with ONS to link datasets together, through the Equality Data Asset, and to analyse information that best supports the development of evidence based policy.
