Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether the six-month validity period for Gender Recognition Certificates will be reviewed as part of the commitment to review the Gender Recognition Act 2004.

We have committed to a review of the Gender Recognition Act to streamline and demedicalise the gender recognition process.

We have begun our programme of work on reviewing the gender recognition process, and we will provide an update on the Government’s progress in 2017.
