Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, pursuant to the Government Response to the Seventh Report of the Women and Equalities Committee, HC799, published on 12 September 2017, on how many occasions the cross-government working group on equalities has met since its establishment and if she will publish the minutes and decision-record from the meetings.

The cross-government working group has met on three occasions. The minutes of these meetings relate to policy discussions on the UK’s exit from the EU that it would not be appropriate to publish.
