Question

To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to begin the consultation for implementing section 106 of the Equality Act 2010; and what the timeline for that consultation will be.

As stated in our answer of March 2026 (HL16096) the Government is committed to commencing section 106 of the Equality Act 2010 and will set out the next steps of this work in due course.

Officials are currently exploring when and how to commence the provision. This will include giving careful consideration to how it might be implemented, the supporting regulations and whether any phasing might be needed in implementation.
