Question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, with reference to Section 109(4) of the Equality Act 2010, whether the provision of mandatory training for civil service staff regarding their obligations under the Equality Act has been cited as a defence against Section 109 proceedings by (a) a Government department and (b) other public sector body since the commencement of that Act.
This information is not held centrally. Proceedings under the Equality Act 2010 are brought against individual Government departments, or the employing public sector body.
