Question to the Department for Education:

Her Majesty's Government how those women’s rights enshrined in EU law will be safeguarded once the UK has left the EU.

The Government wants to preserve the UK’s proud record of promoting equality and tackling discrimination through some of the strongest laws in the world. We have been clear that all protections contained in the Equality Act 2006, the Equality Act 2010, and equivalent legislation in Northern Ireland, will continue to apply after we have left the EU. Moreover, the Repeal Bill will ensure that all workers' rights that are derived from EU law, including those enjoyed by women, will continue to be available in UK law after we have left the EU.
