Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, how many legal cases the Equality and Human Rights Commission has (a) opened, (b) continued and (c) concluded in each of the last three years for which figures are available.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission is an independent body and makes its own decisions about its legal work to enforce equality law. I have therefore asked the Chief Executive of the Commission to write to the honourable member with the information requested. I will place a copy of the letter in the libraries of both Houses.
