Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what potential effect the UK leaving the EU will have on women's rights and opportunities.

We will ensure that the robust protections provided to women by the Equality Acts 2006 and 2010 and equivalent legislation in Northern Ireland, continue to apply after the UK leaves the EU, and we’ve also committed to ensuring workers’ rights keep pace with the changing needs of the labour market.
