Question

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to launch a consultation on the implementation of section 106 of the Equality Act 2010, and if so, when they plan to launch that consultation.

The Government is committed to commencing the Equality Act 2010’s provision requiring registered political parties to publish anonymised data relating to the diversity of their candidate selections.

We are currently exploring when and how to commence the provision under section 106, and when to consult. We will provide an update in due course.
