Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what plans she has to commence section 14 of the Equality Act 2010 on combined discrimination.

In our manifesto, we committed to strengthening protections against dual discrimination. Last year we launched a call for evidence on this commitment, as well as a number of other areas of equality law.

The Government remains committed to strengthening protections against combined discrimination in the most effective way. We are giving responses to the Call for Evidence on Equality Law careful consideration and will confirm next steps in due course.
