Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of the cost for (a) universities and (b) students of implementing the Equality and Human Rights Commission's revised code of practice for services, public functions and associations.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is updating its code of practice for services, public functions and associations and seeking views from affected stakeholders through their consultation which closes on 30 June. We would encourage all interested parties, including universities and students, to ensure their views are heard by submitting a response to the consultation.
