Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, with reference to the Cabinet Office press release, Ministers rip up consultation culture, of 26 March 2026, if he will publish the revised guidance on Equality Impact Assessments.

The Government has committed to speeding up decision making and delivery for the British people. As part of this, a proportionate approach is being taken to equalities impact assessments, so that they improve policy and outcomes. Guidance for public authorities is already available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/public-sector-equality-duty-guidance-for-public-authorities/public-sector-equality-duty-guidance-for-public-authorities.
