Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the decision of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16 on 16 April, what plans they have to include the biological sex of civil servants in reports about those employed by the Cabinet Office and its agencies and public bodies.

The Supreme Court’s ruling has brought clarity for women and single-sex service providers.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission has already committed to support service providers with updated guidance; we will engage them as necessary as they progress this work. All government departments should follow the ruling.
