Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government following the Supreme Court ruling in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16, when the Home Office expects to produce advice on the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 and search policies adopted by police forces in England and Wales.

Along with all other public sector organisations, we are considering what the implications for the Home Office and policing will be of the Supreme Court ruling. It is important that our next steps are properly considered and aligned with legal advice and the Statutory Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations, which the Equality and Human Rights Commission is updating.
