Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the decision of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16, what plans they have to include the biological sex of civil servants in reports about those employed by the Ministry of Justice and its agencies and public bodies.

The Supreme Court ruling made it clear that the provision of single-sex spaces is on the basis of biological sex. Providers and Government Departments should note and follow the ruling.

The Government is considering the implications of the Court’s judgment.

The Government publishes annual statistics on the UK Civil Service workforce, including reporting on sex. The statistics can be found here: Statistical bulletin - Civil Service Statistics: 2024 - GOV.UK.
