Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Baroness Morgan of Cotes and Tom Pursglove

Thursday 26th May 2016 Commons Chamber

[Nicky Morgan]

As I have made very clear, discrimination on any grounds is abhorrent, and the Government want it to end. There is more discussion now about issues facing the trans community, and I pay tribute to the work of the Women and Equalities Committee, which has published an important report on transgender issues. The report made a number of recommendations to Departments throughout Whitehall; we are studying those recommendations, and will respond to them fully in due course.

[Tom Pursglove (Corby) (Con)]

T4. Will the Minister join me in congratulating The R&A on barring Muirfield golf club from hosting the Open championship in the light of its decision not to admit women as members? Does she think that the club should put that right, and admit them?

[Nicky Morgan]

In short, yes, I do.
