Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what budget has been allocated for longitudinal monitoring of the financial impact of the proposed Equality and Human Rights Commission's revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations on businesses post-implementation.

Answered by Emma Reynolds - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Office for Equality and Opportunity in the Cabinet Office will consider the EHRC's updated draft Code of Practice once it has been submitted and engage with them to ensure it provides the further certainty and clarity service providers need, in line with the Supreme Court ruling. Employers and other duty bearers must follow the law and should take appropriate specialist legal advice where necessary.

We do not centrally retain budgeting information on the EHRC’s spending on specific evaluations of its policies.

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of a (a) phased implementation and (b) grace period for the Equality and Human Rights Commission's revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations.

Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has opened its consultation on the draft updated statutory Code of Practice, seeking views from affected stakeholders.

The Department for Business and Trade has made no assessment at this stage of the potential merits of a (a) phased implementation and (b) grace period for the EHRC’s revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations.

We are sure the EHRC will make a concerted effort to fully explore the practical implications of the judgement and how this may be best reflected in the updated Code.
