Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by the Minister for Women and Equalities on 2 August (HC1880), what plans they have to consult on such changes to gender recognition laws; and whether the legislative changes would be delivered through primary or secondary legislation.

In our manifesto, we committed to modernising, simplifying, and reforming gender recognition law. We will remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance whilst retaining the need for a diagnosis of gender dysphoria.

We will set out our next steps on this work in due course, including on any consultation and the appropriate legislative vehicle for reform.
