The House administration has reviewed its policies, services and provisions and has not found that any immediate changes are required as a consequence of the judgment.

These will be further reviewed following publication of the full Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance and, if necessary, amended to ensure the House administration remains in line with the law and the final form of the statutory guidance.
