Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what is the policy of the Government People Group and the Office for Equality and Opportunity on central government bodies affiliating to Stonewall using public funds.

I refer the noble Lord to the answer given to the Rt Hon Claire Coutinho MP on 30 January 2025 by Minister Gould which states that:

‘Government departments are responsible for decisions about whether to buy services from third sector organisations to support equality, diversity and inclusion in their organisations. Currently no government department is a member of Stonewall’.
