Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how the ONS will ensure that the design of questions in major surveys and censuses, including ONS surveys, departmental surveys and Census outputs, conform with the Sullivan Review recommendation that “sex should be the default target of any sex question,” and that sex and gender identity are not conflated in a single question.

The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.

A response to the Hon lady’s Parliamentary Question of 25th February is attached.
