Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to commence and implement the remaining parts of the Equality Act 2010, including section 36, to place a duty on landlords to make reasonable adjustments to common areas for the benefit of disabled people.

We are committed to protecting the rights of individuals against unlawful discrimination, and ensuring the Equality Act 2010 (the Act) protects everyone.

That is why we have committed to commence the Act’s uncommenced dual discrimination provision and the socio-economic duty.

We are considering the currently uncommenced duty to make reasonable adjustments to the common parts of leasehold properties at Section 36 of the Act.
