Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the publication of an interim update on 25 April by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), An interim update on the practical implications of the UK Supreme Court judgment, what discussions they have had with the EHRC regarding the two-week consultation period.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) are currently updating their Code of Practice to reflect the ruling. It is for the EHRC to ensure that any consultation process is appropriate and meaningfully engages with varied stakeholders. We are engaging with them on this and expect them to consult widely and broadly, listening to diverse voices.
