Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what recent assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Equality and Human Rights Commission's revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations on the tourism industry.

We welcome the clarity that the revised code of practice brings to service providers on navigating the implications of the Supreme Court ruling. While there is no current assessment of the potential impact of the revised code of practice on the tourism industry, the Office for Equality and Opportunity within the Cabinet Office is collating Government feedback for the OEO to provide to the EHRC on their public consultation on the code of practice following the UK Supreme Court ruling on 16 April 2025.
