Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they intend to commence section 106 of the Equality Act 2010 relating to political party candidate information and if so, when.

The Government believes that every party standing for elections to the House of Commons, the Scottish Parliament and the Senedd has a duty to demonstrate progress towards better representation. Commencement of section 106 is one way of achieving that and we will set out our plans for this area in due course.
