Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Felicity Buchan and Tom Pursglove

Tuesday 22nd March 2022 Commons Chamber

[Tom Pursglove]

This is a Government Equalities Office lead, and as the Ministry of Justice we are happy to engage with the GEO and to look at this closely.

[Felicity Buchan (Kensington) (Con)]
