Conflict Resolution: Women
Asked by: Lord Rooker (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 11th November 2025 Question To ask His Majesty's Government whether Equality and Human Rights Commission's guidance on single-sex spaces following the Supreme Court decision has been sent to the devolved administrations in draft. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The EHRC has submitted its Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations to the Government. The Code addresses a broad range of issues for service providers, beyond those relating to single sex spaces. The Government is considering the draft updated Code and, if the decision is taken to approve it, the Code will be laid before Parliament.
Under Section 14 of the Equality Act 2006, the Secretary of State is required to consult with Scottish and Welsh Ministers at relevant stages in this process. Ministers are following this process. |

Conflict Resolution: Women
Asked by: Lord Rooker (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 12th November 2025 Question To ask His Majesty's Government whether Equality and Human Rights Commission's guidance on single-sex spaces following the Supreme Court decision requires either a general impact statement or a regulatory impact statement; and who makes the decision. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) I refer the noble Lord to my contribution in Hansard, Volume 849, column 1924: debated on Wednesday 5 November 2025: Equality and Human Rights Commission: Draft Updated Code of Practice:
"…the EHRC has not been asked to carry out a full regulatory impact assessment, but rather to provide a minimum proportionate cost assessment to evidence exclusion from a full regulatory impact assessment and enable us to take an informed decision. Understanding costs and impacts is not new; it would have been a consideration in the 2011 code.” |

Equality and Human Rights Commission
Asked by: Lord Rooker (Labour - Life peer) Wednesday 26th November 2025 Question To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Smith of Malvern on 11 November (HL11422), whether they will now answer the question put, namely whether the Equality and Human Rights Commission guidance has been sent to devolved administrations in draft. Answered by Baroness Smith of Malvern - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) The Minister is following the process in the Equality Act 2006 and is consulting the Devolved Governments at the relevant stages, as required under section 14(9).
Consultation with Welsh and Scottish Ministers is required if, or in so far as, the Code relates to a duty imposed by or under the Public Sector Equality Duty. As part of the consultation, the draft Code has been shared with the Devolved Administrations. |
